[PATCH] Recognize branch instruction on MIPS in gdb.trace/entry-values.exp


The test entry-values.exp doesn't recognize the call instruction "jal"
on MIPS, so this patch sets call_insn "jal" first.

Currently, we assume the next instruction address of call instruction
is the address returned from foo, however it is not correct on MIPS
which has delay slot.  We extend variable call_insn to match one
instruction after jal, so that $returned_from_foo is correct on MIPS.

All tests in entry-values.exp are PASS.

	* gdb.trace/entry-values.exp: Set call_insn for MIPS target.
