Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 3/3] MIPS: Clear Cause.BD in instruction_pointer_set

From: Jiaxun Yang <jiaxun.yang@...goat.com>

[ Upstream commit 9d6e21ddf20293b3880ae55b9d14de91c5891c59 ]

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.
