[MIPS] Handle I-cache coherency in flush_cache_range()

So far flush_cache_range() did't consider the I-cache largely because it
did rarely ever matter to real world code.  This was working primarily
because normally code and data are don't share the same pages - with the
exception of MIPS16 code which uses address constants embedded between
the code.   The following sequence of events may break the code:

 o MIPS16 executable being loaded
 o dynamic linker relocates the address constants embedded into the code:
 o   Uses mprotect(2) to make code pages PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE
 o   Performs the actual relocations by writing to the pages which likely
     are COW.  Because no PROT_EXEC is set I-cache coherence will not be
     considered.
 o   Uses mprotect(2) to switch code pages back to PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC.
     This results in a call to flush_cache_range() which also does not
     consider I-caches.
 o => executing the page just having been relocated may now result in the
   I-cache getting refilled with stale data from memory.
