mips32: clobber memory on sycall (thx Adam Frey)

As the syscall may touch arbitrary memory, we need to prevent the
compiler to cache some values in registers.

Actual problem was demonstrated on Kalisto during school assignments but
HelenOS uses basically the same code, thus the issue applies here too.
