In loongson3_type3_play_dead(), in order to make sure the PC address is
correct, use lw to read the low 32 bits first, if the result is not zero,
then use ld to read the whole 64 bits, otherwise there maybe exists atomic
problem due to write high 32 bits first and then low 32 bits, like this:
high 32 bits (write done)
-- only read high 32-bits which is wrong
low 32 bits (not yet write done)
This problem is especially for Loongson 3A4000+ CPU due to using Mail_Send
register which can only send 32 bits data one time. Although it is hard to
reproduce, we can do something at the software level to avoid the risks for
3A4000+ CPU, this change has no influence on the other Loongson CPUs.
