Subject: [PATCH] ARM, sched/topology: fix possible memory allocation failure

From: huhai <huhai@...inos.cn>

When kcalloc in parse_dt_topology() fails and it will lead to a null
pointer access.

Considering update_cpu_capacity() also uses __cpu_capacity, and refer to
the implementation of parse_dt_topology() in drivers/base/arch_topology.c,
use global variables to store capacity in this patch.
