The (percpu) cacheinfo array is allocated based on the number of cache
leaves that is determined by fetch_cache_info(). When the device tree or
the ACPI tables provide information about the cache, that information is
used to determine the number of leaves. However, for arm64 systems, the
cacheinfo array is filled later in populate_cache_leaves() based on the
information from the CLIDR_EL1 register. If this information happens to
be inconsistent with the device tree or ACPI tables, and if the number
of cache leaves exposed by CLIDR_EL1 is larger than the pre-determined
number, populate_cache_leaves() happily writes past the allocated struct
cacheinfo array.

An example is the Renesas R-Car S4 Spider board, where the cache
information is described in arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a779f0.dtsi.
The CPU nodes contain no explicit info (other than `next-level-cache`),
so of_count_cache_leaves() defaults to 2. The next cache level has an
explicit `cache-level` property equal to 3 and `cache-unified`, so at
the first iteration in init_of_cache_level(), the level is bumped to 3
(from 1) and the leaves count is incremented to 3. So, it ends up with
a total of 3 levels and 3 leaves. Essentially, the device tree describes
a split L1 cache, no L2 cache and a unified L3 cache, and that's
consistent with the technical reference manual. However, according to
CLIDR_EL1, the unified cache is at L2, and there is no L3. So, the code
in populate_cache_leaves() populates the 3 leaves for L1 and L2, but it
also examines L3 (for which it finds CACHE_TYPE_NOCACHE) and attempts to
populate a 4th leaf, which hasn't been allocated.

This is easily observed on boot if KASAN is enabled:

The loop that detects/populates cache information already has a bounds
check on the array size but does not account for cache levels with
separate data/instructions cache. Fix this by incrementing the index
for any populated leaf (instead of any populated level).
