MIPS: Configure FTLB after probing TLB sizes from config4
On some cores (proAptiv, P5600) we make use of the sizes of the TLBs to determine the desired FTLB:VTLB write ratio. However set_ftlb_enable & thus calculate_ftlb_probability is called before decode_config4. This results in us calculating a probability based on zero sizes, and we end up setting FTLBP=3 for a 3:1 FTLB:VTLB write ratio in all cases. This will make abysmal use of the available FTLB resources in the affected cores. Fix this by configuring the FTLB probability after having decoded config4. However we do need to have enabled the FTLB before that point such that fields in config4 actually reflect that an FTLB is present. So set_ftlb_enable is now called twice, with flags indicating that it should configure the write probability only the second time.
