perf/x86/intel/cqm: Do not access cpu_data() from CPU_UP_PREPARE handler

Tony reports that booting his 144-cpu machine with maxcpus=10 triggers
the following WARN_ON():

The root cause is that CPU_UP_PREPARE is completely the wrong notifier
action from which to access cpu_data(), because smp_store_cpu_info()
won't have been executed by the target CPU at that point, which in turn
means that ->x86_cache_max_rmid and ->x86_cache_occ_scale haven't been
filled out.

Instead let's invoke our handler from CPU_STARTING and rename it
appropriately.
