MIPS: Allow RIXI for 32-bit kernels on MIPS64
Commit a68d09a156b2 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit kernels on 64-bit CPUs") prevented use of RIXI on MIPS64 systems, stating that the "TLB handlers cannot handle this case". What they actually couldn't handle was cases where there were less fill bits in the Entry{Lo,Hi} registers than bits used by software in PTEs. The handlers can now deal with this case, so enable RIXI for MIPS32 kernels on MIPS64 systems. Note that beyond the obvious benefits provided by having RIXI on such systems, this is required for systems implementing MIPSr6 where RIXI cannot be disabled. This reverts commit a68d09a156b2 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit kernels on 64-bit CPUs").
