MIPS: Implement __multi3 for GCC7 MIPS64r6 builds
commit ebabcf17bcd7ce968b1631ebe08236275698f39b upstream. GCC7 is a bit too eager to generate suboptimal __multi3 calls (128bit multiply with 128bit result) for MIPS64r6 builds, even in code which doesn't explicitly use 128bit types, such as the following: unsigned long func(unsigned long a, unsigned long b) { return a > (~0UL) / b; } Which GCC rearanges to: return (unsigned __int128)a * (unsigned __int128)b > 0xffffffffffffffff; Therefore implement __multi3, but only for MIPS64r6 with GCC7 as under normal circumstances we wouldn't expect any calls to __multi3 to be generated from kernel code.
