MIPS: Calculate microMIPS ra properly when unwinding the stack

get_frame_info() calculates the offset of the return address within a
stack frame simply by dividing a the bottom 16 bits of the instruction,
treated as a signed integer, by the size of a long. Whilst this works
for MIPS32 & MIPS64 ISAs where the sw or sd instructions are used, it's
incorrect for microMIPS where encodings differ. The result is that we
typically completely fail to unwind the stack on microMIPS.

Fix this by adjusting is_ra_save_ins() to calculate the return address
offset, and take into account the various different encodings there in
the same place as we consider whether an instruction is storing the
ra/$31 register.

With this we are now able to unwind the stack for kernels targetting the
microMIPS ISA, for example we can produce:

    Call Trace:
    [<80109e1f>] show_stack+0x63/0x7c
    [<8011ea17>] __warn+0x9b/0xac
    [<8011ea45>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x1d/0x20
    [<8013fe53>] register_console+0x43/0x314
    [<8067c58d>] of_setup_earlycon+0x1dd/0x1ec
    [<8067f63f>] early_init_dt_scan_chosen_stdout+0xe7/0xf8
    [<8066c115>] do_early_param+0x75/0xac
    [<801302f9>] parse_args+0x1dd/0x308
    [<8066c459>] parse_early_options+0x25/0x28
    [<8066c48b>] parse_early_param+0x2f/0x38
    [<8066e8cf>] setup_arch+0x113/0x488
    [<8066c4f3>] start_kernel+0x57/0x328
    ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

Whereas previously we only produced:

    Call Trace:
    [<80109e1f>] show_stack+0x63/0x7c
    ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
