[PATCH] arm64: cpufeature: check translation granule size based on kernel config

In the big.LITTLE system with two clusters, one is CA53 cluster and
another is CA73 cluster. CA53 doesn't support 16KB memory translation
granule size (4.3.21 AArch64 Memory Model Feature Register 0, EL1; ARM
DDI 0500F), but CA73 supports this feature (4.3.27 AArch64 Memory Model
Feature Register 0, EL1; ARM 100048_0002_04_en). As result, the kernel
reports log for "Unexpected variation" as below.

This patch is to change the checking CPU feature for memory translation
granule size based on kernel configuration. If kernel configuration has
selected to use one specific memory translation granule size, then we
will do strict sanity checking cross all CPUs. Otherwise we can skip to
check unused features for memory translation granule size if kernel
doesn't use it.
