[MIPS] IRIX: Handle do_brk() error return correctly.
do_brk's return value was stored in an unsigned long variable before being tested for less than zero making the test always fail. Also do_brk's called irix_map_prda_page wasn't forwarding do_brk() success. Bug checking the return value of do_brk() and initial fix for it found by Roel Kluin <12o3l@tiscali.nl>.
