[RFC PATCH v2 3/4] perf: Extract building cache level for a CPU into separate function

[K Prateek Nayak]

build_caches() builds the complete cache topology of the system by
iterating over all CPU, building and comparing cache levels of each CPU,
keeping only the unique ones at the end.

Extract the function that build the cache levels for a single CPU into
a separate function. Expose this function to be used elsewhere in perf
too.
