[PATCH] riscv: Fix the PAUSE Opcode for MIPS P8700.

From: Raj Vishwanathan4 <rvishwanathan at mips.com>

The riscv MIPS P8700 uses a different opcode for PAUSE.
It is a ‘hint’ encoding of the SLLI instruction, with rd=0, rs1=0 and
imm=5. It will behave as a NOP instruction if no additional behavior
beyond that of SLLI is implemented.
