MIPS: Avoid using .set mips0 to restore ISA
We currently have 2 commonly used methods for switching ISA within
assembly code, then restoring the original ISA.
1) Using a pair of .set push & .set pop directives. For example:
.set push
.set mips32r2
<some_insn>
.set pop
2) Using .set mips0 to restore the ISA originally specified on the
command line. For example:
.set mips32r2
<some_insn>
.set mips0
Unfortunately method 2 does not work with nanoMIPS toolchains, where the
assembler rejects the .set mips0 directive like so:
Error: cannot change ISA from nanoMIPS to mips0
In preparation for supporting nanoMIPS builds, switch all instances of
method 2 in generic non-platform-specific code to use push & pop as in
method 1 instead. The .set push & .set pop is arguably cleaner anyway,
and if nothing else it's good to consistently use one method.
