[1/3] mips: Break TBs after mfc0_count

From: Edgar E. Iglesias <edgar.iglesias@gmail.com>

Break the TB after reading the count register. This makes it
possible to take timer interrupts immediately after a read of
a possibly expired timer.

This looks fine, however it should probably be done the same way for
dmfc0 on 64-bit MIPS.

You're right, I'll fix that. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick review, I've pushed the series with this
suggested change.

Cheers
