It's common for the platform to replace the cache device nodes after a
migration. Since the cacheinfo code is never informed about this, it
never drops its references to the source system's cache nodes, causing
it to wind up in an inconsistent state resulting in warnings and oopses
as soon as CPU online/offline occurs after the migration, e.g.
cache for /cpus/l3-cache@3113(Unified) refers to cache for
/cpus/l2-cache@200d(Unified)

Using device tree notifiers won't work since we want to rebuild the
hierarchy only after all the removals and additions have occurred and
the device tree is in a consistent state. Call cacheinfo_teardown()
before processing device tree updates, and rebuild the hierarchy
afterward.
