platform/x86: hfi: Parse CPU core ranking data from shared memory



When `amd_hfi` driver is loaded, it will use PCCT subspace type 4 table
to retrieve the shared memory address which contains the CPU core ranking
table. This table includes a header that specifies the number of ranking
data entries to be parsed and rank each CPU core with the Performance and
Energy Efficiency capability as implemented by the CPU power management
firmware.

Once the table has been parsed, each CPU is assigned a ranking score
within its class. Subsequently, when the scheduler selects cores, it
chooses from the ranking list based on the assigned scores in each class,
thereby ensuring the optimal selection of CPU cores according to their
predefined classifications and priorities.
