MIPS: Flush RPS on kernel entry with EVA
When EVA is enabled, flush the Return Prediction Stack (RPS) present on some MIPS cores on entry to the kernel from user mode. This is important specifically for interAptiv with EVA enabled, otherwise kernel mode RPS mispredicts may trigger speculative fetches of user return addresses, which may be sensitive in the kernel address space due to EVA's overlapping user/kernel address spaces.
