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 5944ce092b97 ("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.
