x86/tlb_info: get last level TLB entry number of CPU
For 4KB pages, x86 CPU has 2 or 1 level TLB, first level is data TLB and instruction TLB, second level is shared TLB for both data and instructions. For hupe page TLB, usually there is just one level and seperated by 2MB/4MB and 1GB. Although each levels TLB size is important for performance tuning, but for genernal and rude optimizing, last level TLB entry number is suitable. And in fact, last level TLB always has the biggest entry number. This patch will get the biggest TLB entry number and use it in furture TLB optimizing. Accroding Borislav's suggestion, except tlb_ll[i/d]_* array, other function and data will be released after system boot up. For all kinds of x86 vendor friendly, vendor specific code was moved to its specific files.
