[PATCH v4] mips: Do not include hi and lo in clobber list for R6

"GCC 10 (PR 91233) won't silently allow registers that are not
architecturally available to be present in the clobber list anymore,
resulting in build failure for mips*r6 targets in form of:
...
.../sysdep.h:146:2: error: the register ‘lo’ cannot be clobbered in ‘asm’ for the current target
146 | __asm__ volatile ( \
| ^~~~~~~

This is because base R6 ISA doesn't define hi and lo registers w/o DSP
extension. This patch provides the alternative clobber list for r6 targets
that won't include those registers."

Since kernel 5.4 and mips support for generic vDSO [2], the kernel fail to
build for mips r6 cpus with gcc 10 for the same reason as glibc.

v4: [sudip] added macro VDSO_SYSCALL_CLOBBERS and fix checkpatch errors with commit message.
v3 Avoid duplicate code (Maciej W. Rozycki)
v2 use MIPS_ISA_REV instead of __mips_isa_rev (Alexander Lobakin)

I have reused the original patch by Romain and have retained his s-o-b
and author name as he is the original author of this patch. I have just
added the macro. Build tested with gcc-10.3.1 and gcc-9.3.0.
