cpu_has_fwb() is supposed to warn user is following architectural
requirement is not valid:
LoUU, bits [29:27] - Level of Unification Uniprocessor for the cache
hierarchy.
Note
When FEAT_S2FWB is implemented, the architecture requires that
this field is zero so that no levels of data cache need to be
cleaned in order to manage coherency with instruction fetches.
LoUIS, bits [23:21] - Level of Unification Inner Shareable for the
cache hierarchy.
Note
When FEAT_S2FWB is implemented, the architecture requires that
this field is zero so that no levels of data cache need to be
cleaned in order to manage coherency with instruction fetches.
It is not really clear what user have to do if assertion fires. Having
assertions about the CPU design like this inspire even more assertions
to be added and the kernel definitely is not the right place for that,
so let's remove cpu_has_fwb() altogether.

Changelog:
v1 -> v2
- It looks like v1 did not come through, so increment version to
avoid confusion in case v1 will show up eventually
