4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ddabfa5c2e33f1b495f3e0176de7057850915c0b upstream.
Generic kernel code implements a weak version of set_orig_insn that
moves cached 'insn' from arch_uprobe to the original code location when
the trap is removed.
MIPS variant used arch_uprobe->orig_inst which was never initialised
properly, so this code only inserted a nop instead of the original
instruction. With that change orig_inst can also be safely removed.
