[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/9] MIPS: Probe cache line sizes once during boot

Rather than probing the cache line sizes on every call of any cache
maintenance function, probe them once during boot & store the values in
the global data structure for later use. This will reduce the overhead
of the cache maintenance functions, which isn't a big deal yet but
becomes more important once L2 caches which may expose their properties
via coprocessor 2 or the CM are supported.
