xen/arm: scan CLIDR Ctype fields upwards when probing LLC

get_llc_way_size() currently scans CLIDR_EL1 Ctype fields from the
highest level downwards and stops at the first unified cache it finds.

However, CLIDR_EL1 describes the cache hierarchy from Ctype1 upwards.
Arm ARM DDI 0487J.a, D19.2.27 says that once software has seen a
Ctype value of 0b000 while reading from Ctype1 upwards, no caches
manageable by the architected set/way maintenance instructions exist at
further-out levels, and the higher Ctype fields must be ignored.

The current reverse scan can therefore select a unified cache level from
a Ctype field above the first no-cache level. Such a field is not part of
the architecturally described CLIDR/CCSIDR cache hierarchy and should not
be used for selecting the CCSIDR level.

Scan Ctype fields from L1 upwards, stop at the first no-cache level, and
keep the outermost unified cache observed before that point.

This preserves the result for regular cache hierarchies, while avoiding
selection of an architecturally ignored Ctype field.
