arm64: Work around systems with mismatched cache line sizes 

Systems with differing CPU i-cache/d-cache line sizes can cause
problems with the cache management by software when the execution
is migrated from one to another. Usually, the application reads
the cache size on a CPU and then uses that length to perform cache
operations. However, if it gets migrated to another CPU with a smaller
cache line size, things could go completely wrong. To prevent such
cases, always use the smallest cache line size among the CPUs. The
kernel CPU feature infrastructure already keeps track of the safe
value for all CPUID registers including CTR. This patch works around
the problem by :

For kernel, dynamically patch the kernel to read the cache size
from the system wide copy of CTR_EL0.

For applications, trap read accesses to CTR_EL0 (by clearing the SCTLR.UCT)
and emulate the mrs instruction to return the system wide safe value
of CTR_EL0.

For faster access (i.e, avoiding to lookup the system wide value of CTR_EL0
via read_system_reg), we keep track of the pointer to table entry for
CTR_EL0 in the CPU feature infrastructure.
