lib/mpi: Fix umul_ppmm() for MIPS64r6

Current MIPS64r6 toolchains aren't able to generate efficient
DMULU/DMUHU based code for the C implementation of umul_ppmm(), which
performs an unsigned 64 x 64 bit multiply and returns the upper and
lower 64-bit halves of the 128-bit result. Instead it widens the 64-bit
inputs to 128-bits and emits a __multi3 intrinsic call to perform a 128
x 128 multiply. This is both inefficient, and it results in a link error
since we don't include __multi3 in MIPS linux.

For example commit 90a53e44 ("cfg80211: implement regdb signature
checking") merged in v4.15-rc1 recently broke the 64r6_defconfig and
64r6el_defconfig builds by indirectly selecting MPILIB. The same build
errors can be reproduced on older kernels by enabling e.g. CRYPTO_RSA:

lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul1.o: In function `mpihelp_mul_1':
lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul1.c:50: undefined reference to `__multi3'
lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul2.o: In function `mpihelp_addmul_1':
lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul2.c:49: undefined referenc...
