commit 97ce2c88f9ad42e3c60a9beb9fca87abf3639faa
(jump-label: initialize jump-label subsystem much earlier) breaks MIPS.

The jump-label initialization does I-Cache flushing after modifying
code.  On MIPS this is done by calling through the function pointer
flush_icache_range().  This function pointer is initialized by
trap_init().

As things stand, we cannot be calling jump_label_init() until after
trap_init() completes, so we move the call down to satisfy this
constraint.

NACK to myself:

I now have a patch for MIPS that makes this one unnecessary.

Sorry for spamming this out again, but Sergei keeps flagging my poor
grammar.

Difference from v2: Fix grammar and spelling issues in changelog.  No
                     change to the patch.

Difference from v1: Move jump_label_init() up one so it is now before
                     mm_init() instead of after it.
