cacheinfo: Add arch specific early level initializer
This patch gives architecture specific code the ability to initialize the cache level and allocate cacheinfo memory early, when cache level initialization runs on the primary CPU for all possible CPUs. This is part of a patch series that attempts to further the work in commit 5944ce0 ("arch_topology: Build cacheinfo from primary CPU"). Previously, in the absence of any DT/ACPI cache info, architecture specific cache detection and info allocation for secondary CPUs would happen in non-preemptible context during early CPU initialization and trigger a "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" splat on an RT kernel. More specifically, this patch adds the early_cache_level() function, which is called by fetch_cache_info() as a fallback when the number of cache leaves cannot be extracted from DT/ACPI. In the default generic (weak) implementation, this new function returns -ENOENT, which preserves the original behavior for architectures that do not implement the function. Since early detection can get the number of cache leaves wrong in some cases*, additional logic is added to still call init_cache_level() later on the secondary CPU, therefore giving the architecture specific code an opportunity to go back and fix the initial guess. Again, the original behavior is preserved for architectures that do not implement the new function. * For example, on arm64, CLIDR_EL1 detection works only when it runs on the current CPU. In other words, a CPU cannot detect the cache depth for any other CPU than itself.
