MIPS: Honor L2 bypass bit

On many of the newer MIPS32 cores, CP0 CONFIG2 bit 12 (L2B) indicates
that the L2 cache is disabled and therefore Linux should not attempt
to use it.

[Ralf: Moved the code added by Kevin's original patch into a separate
function that can easily be replaced for platforms that need more a
different probe.]
