Subject: [PATCH v5 04/34] ACPI / PPTT: Find cache level by cache-id

From: James Morse <james.morse@....com>

The MPAM table identifies caches by id. The MPAM driver also wants to know
the cache level to determine if the platform is of the shape that can be
managed via resctrl. Cacheinfo has this information, but only for CPUs that
are online.

Waiting for all CPUs to come online is a problem for platforms where
CPUs are brought online late by user-space.

Add a helper that walks every possible cache, until it finds the one
identified by cache-id, then return the level.

Changes since v4:
Initialise acpi_cpu_id at declaration
Convert a for loop to do/while (Jonathan)
Use new version of acpi_pptt_cache_v1_full

Changes since v3:
Tags dropped due to rework
Fallout/simplification from adding acpi_pptt_cache_v1_full
Look for each cache type before incrementing level
