OK... in alloc_clustermask() for each CPU we were preallocating a
cluster_mask and storing it in the global cluster_hotplug_mask.

Then later for each CPU we were taking the preallocated cluster_mask
and setting cluster_hotplug_mask to NULL.

That doesn't parallelise well :)

So... ditch the global variable, let alloc_clustermask() install the
appropriate cluster_mask *directly* into the target CPU's per_cpu data
before it's running. And since we have to calculate the logical APIC ID
for the cluster ID, we might as well set x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid at
the same time.

Now all that init_x2apic_ldr() actually *does* on the target CPU is set
that CPU's bit in the pre-existing cluster_mask.

To reduce the number of loops over all (present or online) CPUs, I've
made it set the per_cpu cluster_mask for *all* CPUs in the cluster in
one pass at boot time. I think the case for later hotplug is also sane;
will have to test that.

But it passes that qemu boot test it was failing earlier, at least...
