[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 075/104] MIPS: CPS: Don't include MT code in non-MT kernels.

3.16.7-ckt19 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Paul Burton <paul.burton at imgtec.com>

commit a5b0f6db0e6cf6224e50f6585e9c8f0c2d38a8f8 upstream.

The MT-specific code in mips_cps_boot_vpes can safely be omitted from
kernels which don't support MT, with the default VPE==0 case being used
as it would be after the has_mt (Config3.MT) check failed at runtime.
Discarding the code entirely will save us a few bytes & allow cleaner
handling of MT ASE instructions by later patches.
