Subject: [PATCH 2/3] MIPS: Clear Cause.BD in instruction_pointer_set

Clear Cause.BD after we use instruction_pointer_set to override
EPC.

This can prevent exception_epc check against instruction code at
new return address.
It won't be considered as "in delay slot" after epc being overridden
anyway.
