MIPS: Clear Cause.BD in instruction_pointer_set
[ Upstream commit 9d6e21ddf20293b3880ae55b9d14de91c5891c59 ]
Clear Cause.BD after we use instruction_pointer_set to override
EPC.
This can prevent exception_epc check against instruction code at
new return address.
It won't be considered as "in delay slot" after epc being overridden
anyway.
