[PATCH v2 1/4] Revert "arm64: kernel: add support for cpu cache information"

This reverts commit 5d425c18653731af62831d30a4fa023d532657a9.

This reverts a patch that attempt to query the CPU for cache geometry. It
relied on NumSets and LineSize fields of CCSIDR to determine the cache
geometry. However, the architectural documentation for these registers
forbids such use:
	The parameters NumSets, Associativity, and LineSize in these
	registers define the architecturally visible parameters that are
	required for the cache maintenance by Set/Way instructions. They are
	not guaranteed to represent the actual microarchitectural features
	of a design. You cannot make any inference about the actual sizes of
	caches based on these parameters.
