[mips][FastISel] Clobber HI0/LO0 registers in MUL instructions.

Summary

The contents of the HI/LO registers are unpredictable after the execution of
the MUL instruction. In addition to implicitly defining these registers in the
MUL instruction definition, we have to mark those registers as dead too.

Without this the fast register allocator is running out of registers when the
MUL instruction is followed by another one that tries to allocate the AC0
register.

Based on a patch by Reed Kotler.
