MIPS: Switch BMIPS5000 to use r4k_wait_irqoff()

BCM7428B0 CPU Interface Zephyr Processor, pages 5-337 and 5-338
WAIT instruction:
Thread enters wait state. No instructions are executed until an
interrupt occurs. The processor's clocks are stopped if both threads
are in idle mode.
Description:
Execution of this instruction puts the thread into wait state, an idle
mode in which no instructions are fetched or executed. The thread remains
in wait state until an interrupt occurs that is not masked by the
interrupt mask field in the Status register. Then, if interrupts are
enabled by the IE bit in the Status register, the interrupt is serviced.
The ERET instruction returns to the instruction following the WAIT
instruction. If interrupts are disabled, the processor resumes executing
instructions with the next sequential instruction.
Programming notes:
The WAIT instruction should be executed while interrupts are disabled
by the IE bit in the Status register. This avoids a potential timing
hazard, which occurs if an interrupt is taken between testing the counter
and executing the WAIT instruction. In this hazard case, the interrupt
will have been completed before the WAIT instruction is executed, so
the processor will remain indefinitely in wait state until the next
interrupt.
