arm64/cpufeature: don't use mutex in bringup path

Currently, cpus_set_cap() calls static_branch_enable_cpuslocked(), which
must take the jump_label mutex.

We call cpus_set_cap() in the secondary bringup path, from the idle
thread where interrupts are disabled. Taking a mutex in this path "is a
NONO" regardless of whether it's contended, and something we must avoid.
We didn't spot this until recently, as ___might_sleep() won't warn for
this case until all CPUs have been brought up.

This patch avoids taking the mutex in the secondary bringup path. The
poking of static keys is deferred until enable_cpu_capabilities(), which
runs in a suitable context on the boot CPU. To account for the static
keys being set later, cpus_have_const_cap() is updated to use another
static key to check whether the const cap keys have been initialised,
falling back to the caps bitmap until this is the case.

This means that users of cpus_have_const_cap() gain should only gain a
single additional NOP in the fast path once the con...
