[PATCHv3] arm64/cpufeature: don't use mutex in bringup path

Currently, cpus_set_cap() calls static_branch_enable_cpuslocked(), which
must take the jump_label mutex.

We call cpus_set_cap() in the secondary bringup path, from the idle
thread where interrupts are disabled. Taking a mutex in this path "is a
NONO" regardless of whether it's contended, and something we must avoid.
Additionally, the secondary CPU doesn't hold the percpu rwsem (as this
is held by the primary CPU), so this triggers a lockdep splat.

This patch fixes both issues. The poking of static keys is deferred
until enable_cpu_capabilities(), which runs in a suitable context on the
boot CPU. To account for the static keys being set later,
cpus_have_const_cap() is updated to use another static key to check
whether the const cap keys have been initialised, falling back to the
caps bitmap until this is the case.

This means that users of cpus_have_const_cap() gain should only gain a
single additional NOP in the fast path once the const caps are
initialised, but should always see the current cap value.

The hyp code should never dereference the caps array, since the caps are
initialized before we run the module initcall to initialise hyp. A check
is added to the hyp init code to docuemnt this requirement.

This rework means that we can remove the *_cpuslocked() helpers added in
commit d54bb72551b999dd ("arm64/cpufeature: Use
static_branch_enable_cpuslocked()").

Catalin, Will, assuming you're happy with the patch, it will need to go via the
tip tree.

Since v1 [1]:
* Kill redundant update_cpu_errata_workarounds() prototype
* Introduce arm64_const_caps_ready
Since v2 [2]:
* Add hyp init check
* Clean up commit message
* Drop fixes tag
