[RFC PATCH 3/3] arm64: Expose cpu vender id and model name through cpuinfo

It is helpful to show the name of chip vendor and CPU model
to customers in cpuinfo, identify them by using CPU implementer
and CPU part is not intuitive(compared with x86).

We are complained for this several times, so expose them.
