MIPS: Reimplement get_cycles().
This essentially reverts commit efb9ca08 (kernel.org) / 58020a106879a8b372068741c81f0015c9b0b96dbv [[MIPS] Change get_cycles to always return 0.] Most users of get_cycles() invoke it as a timing interface. That's why in modern kernels it was never very much missed for. /dev/random however uses get_cycles() in the how the jitter in the interrupt timing contains some useful entropy.
