Currently if architectures want to support HOTPLUG_SMT they need to provide a topology_is_primary_thread() telling the framework which thread in the SMT cannot offline. However arm64 doesn't have a restriction on which thread in the SMT cannot offline, a simplest choice is that just make 1st thread as the "primary" thread. So just make this as the default implementation in the framework and let architectures like x86 that have special primary thread to override this function (which they've already done). There's no need to provide a stub function if !CONFIG_SMP or !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT. In such case the testing CPU is already the 1st CPU in the SMT so it's always the primary thread.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
