Subject: MIPS: r4kcache: Add EVA case for protected_writeback_dcache_line

commit 83fd43449baaf88fe5c03dd0081a062041837c51 upstream.

Commit de8974e3f76c0 ("MIPS: asm: r4kcache: Add EVA cache flushing
functions") added cache function for EVA using the cachee instruction.
However, it didn't add a case for the protected_writeback_dcache_line.
mips_dsemul() calls r4k_flush_cache_sigtramp() which in turn uses
the protected_writeback_dcache_line() to flush the trampoline code
back to memory. This used the wrong "cache" instruction leading to
random userland crashes on non-FPU cores.
