[PATCH] mips: terminate the FDE before the return trampoline in makecontext


In makecontext the FDE needs to be terminated before the return
trampoline otherwise backtrace called within a context created by
makecontext yields infinite backtrace.

This bug has been present for a long time, stdlib/tst-makecontext did
not fail until recent commit e535ce25. Tested on mips-linux-gnu and
mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 and mips-linux-gnu, no regression.

This fixes stdlib/tst-makecontext on MIPS.

Changelog:
	[BZ #19792]
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/makecontext.S (__makecontext):
	Terminate FDE before return label.
