[committed] Fix handling of global registers in MIPS prologues

[committed] Fix handling of global registers in MIPS prologues

[Richard Sandiford]

PR 45074 showed up a rather embarrassing oversight in the MIPS backend:
global registers were still being treated as call-saved.

Fixed with the attached patch.  Tested on mips64-linux-gnu and applied.

This bug is also PR target/43700, a regression since gcc-4.4.
Do you want to backport the fix, or perhaps just mark PR43700
as fixed in 4.7.0?

I've now backported it to 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6.  Sorry for the delay.
