Subject: [PATCH 2/9] x86/intel_rapl: Modify hot cpu notification handling for RAPL

This patch modifies the hot cpu notification handling in
Intel Running Average Power Limit(RAPL) driver.

 - to add a cpu reader to the rapl_cpumask(which has one cpu per package
     set) it uses the existing package<->core map instead of looping
 through all cpus in rapl_cpumask.
 - to search for the next online sibling during hot cpu exit, it uses
 the same mapping instead of looping 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.
