mips: lib: uncached: fix non-standard usage of variable 'sp'

commit 5b058973d3205578aa6c9a71392e072a11ca44ef upstream.

When building mips tinyconfig with clang the following warning show up:

arch/mips/lib/uncached.c:45:6: warning: variable 'sp' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
        if (sp >= (long)CKSEG0 && sp < (long)CKSEG2)
            ^~
arch/mips/lib/uncached.c:40:18: note: initialize the variable 'sp' to silence this warning
        register long sp __asm__("$sp");
                        ^
                         = 0
1 warning generated.

Rework to make an explicit inline move, instead of the non-standard use
of specifying registers for local variables. This is what's written
from the gcc-10 manual [1] about specifying registers for local
variables:

"6.47.5.2 Specifying Registers for Local Variables
.................................................
[...]

"The only supported use for this feature is to specify registers for
input and output operands when calling Extended 'asm' (*note Extended
Asm::).  [...]".
