Patch series "Add and use get_cpu_cacheinfo_level()".

This helper function came up in discussion of the resctrl patches for
Sub-NUMA Cluster (SNC) support.  Reinette pointed out[1] that there are
already two places where it would clean things up by avoiding open coding.
The SNC patches will add two additional call sites.

So rather than have this jammed up as part of the SNC series, I'm posting
it as a simple standalone cleanup.

This patch (of 3):

Resctrl code open codes a search for information about a given cache level
in a couple of places (and more are on the way).

Provide a new inline function get_cpu_cacheinfo_level() in
<linux/cacheinfo.h> to do the search and return a pointer to the cacheinfo
structure.

Simplify the existing get_cpu_cacheinfo_id() by using this new function to
do the search.
