Subject: MIPS: BPF: Quit clobbering callee saved registers in JIT code.

From: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com>


[ Upstream commit 1ef0910cfd681f0bd0b81f8809935b2006e9cfb9 ]

If bpf_needs_clear_a() returns true, only actually clear it if it is
ever used.  If it is not used, we don't save and restore it, so the
clearing has the nasty side effect of clobbering caller state.

Also, don't emit stack pointer adjustment instructions if the
adjustment amount is zero.
