Subject: [PATCH 06/14] MIPS: entry: Remove unneeded need_resched() loop

Since the enabling and disabling of IRQs within preempt_schedule_irq()
is contained in a need_resched() loop, we don't need the outer arch
code loop.

Do note that commit a18815abcdfd ("Use preempt_schedule_irq.")
initially removed the existing loop, but commit cdaed73afb61 ("Fix
preemption bug.") reintroduced it. It is however not clear what the
issue was and why such a loop was reintroduced, so I'm probably
missing something.
