Srikar Dronamraju 3babbe447d sched/topology: Allow archs to override cpu_smt_mask
cpu_smt_mask tracks topology_sibling_cpumask. This would be good for
most architectures. One of the users of cpu_smt_mask(), would be to
identify idle-cores. On Power9, a pair of SMT4 cores can be presented
by the firmware as a SMT8 core for backward compatibility reasons.

powerpc allows LPARs to be live migrated from Power8 to Power9. Do
note Power8 had only SMT8 cores. Existing software which has been
developed/configured for Power8 would expect to see SMT8 core.
Maintaining the illusion of SMT8 core is a requirement to make that
work.

In order to maintain above userspace backward compatibility with
previous versions of processor, Power9 onwards there is option to the
firmware to advertise a pair of SMT4 cores as a fused cores aka SMT8
core. On Power9 this pair shares the L2 cache as well. However, from
the scheduler's point of view, a core should be determined by SMT4,
since its a completely independent unit of compute. Hence allow
powerpc architecture to override the default cpu_smt_mask() to point
to the SMT4 cores in a SMT8 mode.

This will ensure the scheduler is always given the right information.
