inconsistent asm macro

In include/asm-mips/interrupt.h, the definition for local_irq_restore is inconsistent in its use of .reorder/.noreorder assembler directives. Other asm macros in interrupt.h are wrapped with '.set push' and '.set pop'.

It doesn't seem to be a problem with the 2.96 mipsel-linux- assembler, but it caused me a problem with my 4.0-based toolchain. (As it was the local_irq_restore left the assembler in 'reorder' mode and a stack pointer post-inc was reordered out of the return delay slot where it belonged.) Luckily we have a sharp compiler guy who figured it out. Thanks.

As usual, there may be a reason for this, but it took me a whole day to find it, and I thought I'd point it out.
