[PATCH 3.18 078/121] MIPS: kprobes: flush_insn_slot should flush only if probe initialised

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 698b851073ddf5a894910d63ca04605e0473414e ]

When ftrace is used with kprobes, it is possible for a kprobe to contain
an invalid location (ie. only initialised to 0 and not to a specific
location in the code). Trying to perform a cache flush on such location
leads to a crash r4k_flush_icache_range().
