arm64: cachetype: report weakest cache policy
In big.LITTLE systems, the I-cache policy may differ across CPUs, and thus we must always meet the most stringent maintenance requirements of any I-cache in the system when performing maintenance to ensure correctness. Unfortunately this requirement is not met as we always look at the current CPU's cache type register to determine the maintenance requirements. This patch causes the I-cache policy of all CPUs to be taken into account for icache_is_aliasing and icache_is_aivivt. If any I-cache in the system is aliasing or AIVIVT, the respective function will return true. At boot each CPU may set flags to identify that at least one I-cache in the system is aliasing and/or AIVIVT. The now unused and potentially misleading icache_policy function is removed.
