Subject: [PATCH resend] x86: Remove wrong error message in
 x86_default_fixup_cpu_id


It's only called from amd.c:srat_detect_node(). The introduced
condition for calling the fixup code is true for all AMD multi-node
processors, e.g. Magny-Cours and Interlagos. There we have 2 NUMA
nodes on one socket. Thus there are cores having different
numa-node-id but with equal phys_proc_id.

There is no point to print error messages in such a situation.

The confusing/misleading error message was introduced with commit
64be4c1c2428e148de6081af235e2418e6a66dda (x86: Add x86_init platform
override to fix up NUMA core numbering).

Change the default fixup function (remove the error message), move the
Numascale-specific condition for calling the fixup into the
fixup-function itself and slightly adapt the comment.
