Avoid endless loop if synci_step was zero read by rdhwr instruction. Most platforms do not need to do synci instruction operations when synci_step is 0. But for example, the synci implementation on Loongson64 platform has some changes. On the one hand, it ensures that the memory access instructions have been completed. On the other hand, it guarantees that all prefetch instructions need to be fetched again. And its address information is useless. Thus, only one synci operation is required when synci_step is 0 on Loongson64 platform. I guess that some other platforms have similar implementations on synci, so add judgment conditions in `while` to ensure that at least all platforms perform synci operations once. For those platforms that do not need synci, they just do one more operation similar to nop.
