    arm64: Rearrange CPU errata workaround checks · c47a1900

    Right now we run through the work around checks on a CPU
    from __cpuinfo_store_cpu. There are some problems with that:
    
    1) We initialise the system wide CPU feature registers only after the
    Boot CPU updates its cpuinfo. Now, if a work around depends on the
    variance of a CPU ID feature (e.g, check for Cache Line size mismatch),
    we have no way of performing it cleanly for the boot CPU.
    
    2) It is out of place, invoked from __cpuinfo_store_cpu() in cpuinfo.c. It
    is not an obvious place for that.
    
    This patch rearranges the CPU specific capability(aka work around) checks.
    
    1) At the moment we use verify_local_cpu_capabilities() to check if a new
    CPU has all the system advertised features. Use this for the secondary CPUs
    to perform the work around check. For that we rename
      verify_local_cpu_capabilities() => check_local_cpu_capabilities()
    which:
    
       If the system wide capabilities haven't been initialised (i.e, the CPU
       is activated at the boot), update the system wide detected work arounds.
    
       Otherwise (i.e a CPU hotplugged in later) verify that this CPU conforms to the
       system wide capabilities.
    
    2) Boot CPU updates the work arounds from smp_prepare_boot_cpu() after we have
    initialised the system wide CPU feature values.
