Recent changes to remove cpus_have_const_cap() introduced new users of
cpus_have_cap() in the period between detecting system cpucaps and
patching alternatives. It would be preferable to defer these until after
the relevant cpucaps have been patched so that these can use the usual
feature check helper functions, which is clearer and has less risk of
accidental usage of code relying upon an alternative which has not yet
been patched.
This patch reworks the system-wide cpucap detection and patching to
minimize this transient period:
* The detection, enablement, and patching of system cpucaps is moved
into a new setup_system_capabilities() function so that these can be
grouped together more clearly, with no other functions called in the
period between detection and patching. This is called from
setup_system_features() before the subsequent checks that depend on
the cpucaps.
The logging of TTBR0 PAN and cpucaps with a mask is also moved here to
keep these as close as possible to update_cpu_capabilities().
At the same time, comments are corrected and improved to make the
intent clearer.
* As hyp_mode_check() only tests system register values (not hwcaps) and
must be called prior to patching, the call to hyp_mode_check() is
moved before the call to setup_system_features().
* In setup_system_features(), the use of system_uses_ttbr0_pan() is
restored, now that this occurs after alternatives are patched. This is
a partial revert of commit:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
