MIPS: Don't stomp on caller's ->regs[2] in copy_thread()
We never needed that (->regs[2] is overwritten on return from syscall paths with return value of syscall, so storing it there early made no sense) and with new restart logics since d27240bf7e61d2656de18e158ec910a902030847 it has become really bad - we lose the original syscall number before the place where we decide that we might need a syscall restart. Note that for child we do need the assignment to regs[2] - it won't go through the normal return from syscall path.
