[PATCH v5 01/13] arm64: cpufeature: __this_cpu_has_cap() shouldn't stop early

[james.morse@arm.com (James Morse)]

this_cpu_has_cap() tests caps->desc not caps->matches, so it stops
walking the list when it finds a 'silent' feature, instead of
walking to the end of the list.

Prior to v4.6's 644c2ae198412 ("arm64: cpufeature: Test 'matches' pointer
to find the end of the list") we always tested desc to find the end of
a capability list. This was changed for dubious things like PAN_NOT_UAO.
v4.7's e3661b128e53e ("arm64: Allow a capability to be checked on
single CPU") added this_cpu_has_cap() using the old desc style test.

So far only ARM64_HAS_SYSREG_GIC_CPUIF and errata use this_cpu_has_cap(),
all the errata have descriptions, and the GIC_CPUIF feature is first in
the list, so its not possible to hit this with mainline. I don't think
this should go to stable - this is not intended as a fix.
