There is an exisiting common ftrace_test_stop_func() in
kernel/trace/ftrace.c, which is used to check the global variable
ftrace_trace_stop to determine whether stop the function tracing.

This patch implepment the MIPS specific one to speedup the procedure.

Thanks goes to Zhang Le for Cleaning it up.

1) unless .set noreorder is specified in this file, explicit nop is not needed;

2) delay slot instruction is usually denoted by adding extra space on its left, like this:

	bnez	t0, ftrace_stub
	 nop
