[PATCH 1/3] arm64: cpufeature: detect FEAT_BBM level 2

FEAT_BBM level 2 is useful to split large page table without breaking
the page table entry.  The following patch will use to improve
performance.  Detect it in cpufeature and use BOOT_CPU feature for now,
if the late CPU cores have conflict, kernel will not bring them up.
