[PATCH v6] arm64: cpuinfo: Expose MIDR_EL1 and REVIDR_EL1 to sysfs

From: Steve Capper <steve.capper at linaro.org>

It can be useful for JIT software to be aware of MIDR_EL1 and
REVIDR_EL1 to ascertain the presence of any core errata that could
affect code generation.

This patch exposes these registers through sysfs:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$ID/identification/midr
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$ID/identification/revidr

where $ID is the cpu number. For big.LITTLE systems, one can have a
mixture of cores (e.g. Cortex A53 and Cortex A57), thus all CPUs need
to be enumerated.

If the kernel does not have valid information to populate these entries
with, an empty string is returned to userspace.

Changes since V5:
  - Add hotplug notifier to {add/remove} the attributes when the CPU is brought
    {online/offline}.
  - Replace cpu_hotplug_{disable,enable} => cpu_notifier_register_{begin/done}
  - Remove redundant check for cpu present, as the sysfs infrastructure does
    check already returning -ENODEV, if the CPU goes offline between open() and
    read().
Changes since V4:
  - Update comment as suggested by Mark Rutland
Changes since V3:
  - Disable cpu hotplug while we initialise
  - Added a comment to explain why expose 64bit value
  - Update Document/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu
Changes since V2:
  - Fix errno for failures (Spotted-by: Russell King)
  - Roll back, if we encounter a missing cpu device
  - Return error for access to registers of CPUs not present.
