Subject: [PATCH] ACPI/PPTT: Add acpi_pptt_warn_missing() to consolidate logs

For a system using ACPI-based FW without a PPTT, we may get many warnings
about the lack of a PPTT, as shown:

root@(none)$ dmesg | grep -i pptt
[    0.010125] ACPI PPTT: No PPTT table found, cpu topology may be inaccurate
[    7.138339] ACPI PPTT: No PPTT table found, cache topology may be inaccurate
[    7.145368] ACPI PPTT: No PPTT table found, cache topology may be inaccurate

These logs are generated with pr_warn_once(), so the intention was for a
single log, but the logs overlap, so consolidate them.
