[PATCH] sched/x86: Calculate booted cores after construction ofsibling_mask

From: Kamalesh Babulal

While booting tip (1d06e6d354) on qemu with -smp sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2
topology. There is a mismatch between the number of cores actually present
and cores reported.

Changes related to calculating the number of booted cores was introduced
by 316ad248307fb (sched/x86: Rewrite set_cpu_sibling_map()). With the
clean up, the calculation of booted cores per package is done on an
incompletely constructed sibling_mask per cpu.

sched/x86: Calculate booted cores after construction of sibling_mask

This patch re-introduces the old behaviour of constructing the complete
sibling mask of the cpu, before calculating the number of cores booted.

On qemu booted with -smp sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2,
Before:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep cores
cpu cores : 2
cpu cores : 1
cpu cores : 4
cpu cores : 3

With the patch:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep cores
cpu cores : 2
cpu cores : 2
cpu cores : 2
cpu cores : 2
