[PATCH -next v2 2/3] cacheinfo: Make default acpi_get_cache_info() return an error

commit bd500361a937 ("ACPI: PPTT: Update acpi_find_last_cache_level()
to acpi_get_cache_info()")
updates the prototype of acpi_get_cache_info(). The cache 'levels'
is update through a pointer and not the return value of the function.

If CONFIG_ACPI_PPTT is not defined, acpi_get_cache_info() doesn't
update its *levels and *split_levels parameters and returns 0.
This can lead to a faulty behaviour.

Make acpi_get_cache_info() return an error code if CONFIG_ACPI_PPTT
is not defined.
Also,

In init_cache_level(), if no PPTT is present or CONFIG_ACPI_PPTT is
not defined, instead of aborting if acpi_get_cache_info() returns an
error code, just continue. This allows to try fetching the cache
information from clidr_el1.
