MIPS: Send SIGILL for linked branches in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'
commit fef40be6da856afead4177aaa9d869a66fb3381f upstream.
Fix commit 319824eabc3f ("MIPS: kernel: branch: Do not emulate the
branch likelies on MIPS R6") and also send SIGILL rather than returning
-SIGILL for BLTZAL, BLTZALL, BGEZAL and BGEZALL instruction encodings no
longer supported in R6, except where emulated. Returning -SIGILL is
never correct as the API defines this function's result upon error to be
-EFAULT and a signal actually issued.
