cacheinfo: Allow early level detection when DT/ACPI info is missing/broken

Recent work enables cacheinfo memory for secondary CPUs to be allocated
early, while still running on the primary CPU. That allows cacheinfo
memory to be allocated safely on RT kernels. To make that work, the
number of cache levels/leaves must be defined in the device tree or ACPI
tables. Further work adds a path for early detection of the number of
cache levels/leaves, which makes it possible to allocate the cacheinfo
memory early without requiring extra DT/ACPI information.

This patch addresses a specific issue with ACPI systems with no PPTT. In
that case, parse_acpi_topology() returns an error code, which in turn
makes init_cpu_topology() return early, before fetch_cache_info() is
called. In that case, the early cache level detection doesn't run.

The solution is to simply remove the "return" statement and let the code
flow fall through to calling fetch_cache_info().
