[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 04/14] MIPS: Enable use of the instruction cache earlier

Enable use of the instruction cache immediately after it has been
initialised. This will only take effect if U-Boot was linked to run from
kseg0 rather than kseg1, but when this is the case the data cache
initialisation code will run cached & thus significantly faster.
