MIPS: add support for buggy MT7621S core detection
Most MT7621 SoCs have 2 cores, which is detected and supported properly by CPS. Unfortunately, MT7621 SoC has a less common S variant with only one core. On MT7621S, GCR_CONFIG still reports 2 cores, which leads to hangs when starting SMP. CPULAUNCH registers can be used in that case to detect the absence of the second core and override the GCR_CONFIG PCORES field. Rework a long-standing OpenWrt patch to override the value of mips_cps_numcores on single-core MT7621 systems. Tested on a dual-core MT7621 device (Ubiquiti ER-X) and a single-core MT7621 device (Netgear R6220).
