Subject: [PATCH 4.4 104/268] x86/topology: Update the cpu cores field in /proc/cpuinfo correctly across CPU hotplug operations

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Samuel Neves <sneves@....uc.pt>

[ Upstream commit 4596749339e06dc7a424fc08a15eded850ed78b7 ]

Without this fix, /proc/cpuinfo will display an incorrect amount
of CPU cores, after bringing them offline and online again, as
exemplified below:

  $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep cores
  cpu cores	: 4
  cpu cores	: 8
  cpu cores	: 8
  cpu cores	: 20
  cpu cores	: 4
  cpu cores	: 3
  cpu cores	: 2
  cpu cores	: 2

This patch fixes this by always zeroing the booted_cores variable
upon turning off a logical CPU.
