Subject: MIPS: mm: Fix definition of R6 cache instruction

From: Matt Redfearn <matt.redfearn@imgtec.com>

commit 4f53989b0652ffe2605221c81ca8ffcfc90aed2a upstream.

Commit a168b8f1cde6 ("MIPS: mm: Add MIPS R6 instruction encodings") added
an incorrect definition of the redefined MIPSr6 cache instruction.

Executing any kernel code including this instuction results in a
reserved instruction exception and kernel panic.

Fix the instruction definition.
