Re: [PATCH 08/19] arm64: smp: Don't bother printing the I-cache policy for each CPU

The I-cache policy isn't particularly interesting but printing it early
can result in unnecessary serialisation of onlining CPUs.

Remove the pointless print.

As we need to defer RCU registration during secondary CPU bringup, so we
should avoid unnecessary early print during secondary CPU bringup, which
will trigger a false-positive lockdep"suspicious RCU usage" splat during
early lock acquisitions as commit ce3d31ad3cac ("arm64/smp: Move
rcu_cpu_starting() earlier") pointed out.

LGTM
