LOG: [Mips] Restrict rdhwr+synci to Linux on MIPS R6 (#222566)

The rdhwr instruction reads synci_step, which is not allowed by OpenBSD
and is not available for ISA older than mips{32/64}r2.

Restrict the rdhwr+synci to Linux on MIPS R6 and fall back to
_flush_cache on all other MIPS targets including OpenBSD and pre-R6
Linux.

Fix #219896.
