Subject: [PATCH 10/10] MIPS: CM,CPC: ensure core-other GCRs reflect the correct core

Ensure the update to which core the core-other GCR regions reflect has
taken place before any core-other GCRs are accessed by placing a memory
barrier (sync instruction) between the write to the core-other registers
and any such GCR accesses.
