Subject: [PATCH 4.9 046/107] x86/cpu/intel: Evaluate smp_num_siblings early

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

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

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

commit 1910ad5624968f93be48e8e265513c54d66b897c upstream

Make use of the new early detection function to initialize smp_num_siblings
on the boot cpu before the MP-Table or ACPI/MADT scan happens. That's
required for force disabling SMT.
