[MIPS] cpu/mips/cache.S: Fix build warning

Some old GNU assemblers, such as v2.14 (ELDK 3.1.1), v2.16 (ELDK 4.1.0),
warns illegal global symbol references by bal (and jal also) instruction.
This does not happen with the latest binutils v2.18.

Here's an example on gth2_config:

mips_4KC-gcc  -D__ASSEMBLY__ -g  -Os   -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE=0x90000000 -I/home/skuribay/devel/u-boot.git/include -fno-builtin -ffreestanding -nostdinc -isy
stem /opt/eldk311/usr/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/mips-linux/3.3.3/include -pipe  -DCONFIG_MIPS -D__MIPS__ -G 0 -mabicalls -fpic -pipe -msoft-float -march=4kc -mtune=4k
c -EB -c -o cache.o cache.S
cache.S: Assembler messages:
cache.S:243: Warning: Pretending global symbol used as branch target is local.
cache.S:250: Warning: Pretending global symbol used as branch target is local.

In principle, gas might be sensitive to global symbol references in PIC
code because they should be processed through GOT (global offset table).
But if `bal' instruction is used, it results in PC-based offset jump.
This is the cause of this warning.

In practice, we know it doesn't matter whether PC-based reference or GOT-
based. As for this case, both will work before/after relocation. But let's
fix the code.

This patch explicitly sets up a target address, then jump there.
Here's an example of disassembled code with/without this patch.
