mips: Switch inferior function calls to ON_STACK method.
This patch switches the mips code to use the ON_STACK method for function calls instead of AT_SYMBOL, which we want to remove. gdb/ChangeLog: * mips-tdep.c (mips_push_dummy_code): New function. (mips_gdbarch_init): Set the gdbarch call_dummy_location to ON_STACK and install mips_push_dummy_code as our gdbarch push_dummy_code routine.
