Subject: [PATCH 4.17 39/97] x86/cpu/common: Provide detect_ht_early()

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

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

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit 545401f4448a807b963ff17b575e0a393e68b523 upstream

To support force disabling of SMT it's required to know the number of
thread siblings early. detect_ht() cannot be called before the APIC driver
is selected, so split out the part which initializes smp_num_siblings.
