This corrects assembler warnings and broken code generated in __strncpy_from_user_asm: arch/mips/lib/strncpy_user.S: Assembler messages: arch/mips/lib/strncpy_user.S:52: Warning: Macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions in a branch delay slot with the CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS option set. The function schedules delay slots manually where there is really no need to as GAS is happy to do it all itself, so undo it all and remove `.set noreorder'. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
