mips: do not place branch instructions in branch delay slot
A branch instruction in a branch delay slot confuses the execution
pipeline and causes an exception.
bootblock.S was written 'by hand', has a branch instruction in branch
delay slot and includes '.set noreorder' directive, which causes it to
crash when trying to branch to main().
Adding a nop instruction fixes the problem. Also adding a nop after
the last branch in the file just in case main() returns and the object
linked next starts with a branch.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:31438
TEST=Running on the simulator can reach main() now
