[PATCH v5 1/4] cacheinfo: Check for null last-level cache info

[Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>]

Before determining the validity of the last-level cache info, ensure that
it has been allocated. Simply checking for non-zero cache_leaves() is not
sufficient, as some architectures (e.g., Intel processors) have non-zero
cache_leaves() before allocation.

Dereferencing NULL cacheinfo can occur in update_per_cpu_data_slice_size().
This function iterates over all online CPUs. However, a CPU may have come
online recently, but its cacheinfo may not have been allocated yet.

The dereference of a NULL cacheinfo is not observed today because
cache_leaves(cpu) is zero until after init_cache_level() is called
(during the CPU hotplug callback). A subsequent changeset will set
the number of cache leaves earlier and the NULL-pointer dereference
will be observed.
