Fix a potential deadlock in some older Loongson 3A1000 MIPS processors.
* NEWS: Mention -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc. * configure.ac: Add --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc. Define DEFAULT_MIPS_FIX_LOONGSON3_LLSC. * config.in: Regenerated. * configure: Likewise. * config/tc-mips.c (sync_insn, mips_fix_loongson3_llsc): New variables. (options): New OPTION_FIX_LOONGSON3_LLSC, OPTION_NO_FIX_LOONGSON3_LLSC. (md_longopts): Add -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc. (md_begin): Initialize sync insn. (fix_loongson3_llsc): New. (append_insn): Call fix_loongson3_llsc. (md_parse_option): Handle OPTION_FIX_LOONGSON3_LLSC, OPTION_NO_FIX_LOONGSON3_LLSC. (md_show_usage): Display -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc. * doc/c-mips.texi: Document -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc, --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc=[yes|no].
