[ Upstream commit e75d18cecbb3805895d8ed64da4f78575ec96043 ]

Though acpi_find_last_cache_level() always returned signed value and the
document states it will return any errors caused by lack of a PPTT table,
it never returned negative values before.

Commit 0c80f9e165f8 ("ACPI: PPTT: Leave the table mapped for the runtime usage")
however changed it by returning -ENOENT if no PPTT was found. The value
returned from acpi_find_last_cache_level() is then assigned to unsigned
fw_level.

It will result in the number of cache leaves calculated incorrectly as
a huge value which will then cause the following warning from __alloc_pages
as the order would be great than MAX_ORDER because of incorrect and huge
cache leaves value.

Fix the same by changing fw_level to be signed integer and return the
error from init_cache_level() early in case of error.
