According to the calling convention of the o32 ABI the caller
function must reserve stack space for $a0-$a3 registers in case
the callee needs to save its arguments.
The assembly code of the loader does not reserve stack space for
these registers thus when the 'loader_main' function needs to save
its arguments, those will be stored in the 'workspace' area instead
of the stack.
Because the workspace area is also used by other part of the code, the
saved register values gets overwritten and this often leads to failed
kernel boots.
Fix the code to reserve stack space for the registers to avoid this
error.

To make the lzma-loader build with binutils 2.25.1 it is needed to
remove the .MIPS.abiflags section otherwise I get the following compile
error:
mips-openwrt-linux-musl-objcopy -O binary -R .reginfo -R .note -R .comment -R .mdebug -S loader loader.bin
mips-openwrt-linux-musl-objcopy: Warning: Writing section `.text' to huge (ie negative) file offset 0xffffffff80a00000.
mips-openwrt-linux-musl-objcopy:loader.bin[.text]: File truncated
This should close#20487.

The generic kernel cmdline parser ignores argv[0], this caused a
regression for all lzma-loader based boards with linux 4.1
