MIPS: mipsregs.h: Make read_c0_prid use const accessor



Make read_c0_prid() use the new constant accessor macros so that it can
potentially be optimised or removed by the compiler. This is
particularly important under virtualisation, where even with hardware
assisted virtualisation (VZ), access to the PRid register may need to be
emulated by the hypervisor.

In particular this helps eliminate the read of the PRid register in the
rather frequently called add_interrupt_randomness() (which calls into
arch/mips/include/asm/timex.h) when the prid is unused but the read
can't be removed due to the inline asm being marked __volatile__.
