Subject: [PATCH 02/10] x86/intel_cqm: Modify hot cpu notification handling

This patch modifies hot cpu notification handling in Intel cache
monitoring:

 - to add a new cpu to the cqm_cpumask(which has one cpu per package)
  during cpu start, it uses the existing package<->core map instead of
  looping through all cpus in cqm_cpumask.
 - to search for the next online sibling during cpu exit, it uses the
 cpumask_any_online_but instead of looping through all online cpus.  In
 large systems with large number of cpus the time taken to loop may be
 expensive and also the time increase linearly.
