arm: AArch64 report cache size correctly when reading CTR_EL0
Trying to read MISCREG_CTR_EL0 on AArch64 returned 0 as is was not
implmemented. With that an operating system relying on the cache line
sizes reported in order to manage the caches would (a) panic given the
returned value 0 is not valid (high bit is RES1) or (b) worst case would
assume a cache line size of 4 doing a tremendous amount of extra
instruction work (including fetching). Return the same values as for ARMv7
as the fields seem to be the same, or RES0/1 seem to be reported
accordingly for AArch64
In collaboration with: Andrew Turner
Testing Done: Checked on FreeBSD boots with extra printfs; also observed a
reduction of a factor of about 10 in instruction fetches for a simple
micro-test.
