MIPS: CPS: Optimise delay CPU calibration for SMP

On MIPS architecture with CPS-based SMP support, all CPU cores in the
same cluster run at the same frequency since they share the same L2
cache, requiring a fixed CPU/L2 cache ratio.

This allows to implement calibrate_delay_is_known(), which will return
0 (triggering calibration) only for the primary CPU of each
cluster. For other CPUs, we can simply reuse the value from their
cluster's primary CPU core.

With the introduction of this patch, a configuration running 32 cores
spread across two clusters sees a significant reduction in boot time
by approximately 600 milliseconds.
