[PATCH v3 2/5] arm64: Allow a capability to be checked on a single CPU

From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier at arm.com>

Now that the capabilities are only available once all the CPUs
have booted, we're unable to check for a particular feature
in any subsystem that gets initialized before then.

In order to support this, introduce a local_cpu_has_cap() function
that tests for the presence of a given capability independently
of the whole framework.
