Subject: [PATCH 3.16 070/192] MIPS: Actually decode JALX in
 `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@...tec.com>

commit a9db101b735a9d49295326ae41f610f6da62b08c upstream.

Complement commit fb6883e5809c ("MIPS: microMIPS: Support handling of
delay slots.") and actually decode the regular MIPS JALX major
instruction opcode, the handling of which has been added with the said
commit for EPC calculation in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'.

Fixes: fb6883e5809c ("MIPS: microMIPS: Support handling of delay slots.")
