Subject: [PATCH 4.14 035/104] sched/smt: Update sched_smt_present at runtime

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

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

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit ba2591a5993eabcc8e874e30f361d8ffbb10d6d4 upstream

The static key sched_smt_present is only updated at boot time when SMT
siblings have been detected. Booting with maxcpus=1 and bringing the
siblings online after boot rebuilds the scheduling domains correctly but
does not update the static key, so the SMT code is not enabled.

Let the key be updated in the scheduler CPU hotplug code to fix this.
