arm64: Rework checks for broken Cavium HW in the PI code
Calling into the MIDR checking framework from the PI code has recently become much harder, due to the new fancy "multi-MIDR" support that relies on tables being populated at boot time, but not that early that they are available to the PI code. There are additional issues with this framework, as the code really isn't position independend *at all*. This leads to some ugly breakages, as reported by Ada. It so appears that the only reason for the PI code to call into the MIDR checking code is to cope with The Most Broken ARM64 System Ever, aka Cavium ThunderX, which cannot deal with nG attributes that result of the combination of KASLR and KPTI as a consequence of Erratum 27456. Duplicate the check for the erratum in the PI code, removing the dependency on the bulk of the MIDR checking framework. This allows dropping that same check from kaslr_requires_kpti(), as the KPTI code already relies on the ARM64_WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_27456 cap.
