Subject: [PATCH v5 0/3] Fix panic in logical packages calculation

A system booted with a small number of cores enabled per package
panics because the estimate of __max_logical_packages is too low.
This occurs when the total number of active cores across all packages
is less than the maximum core count for a single package.

Andi noted that the logical_packages calculation wastes 128k on 64-bit
x86 systems and posted patches to fix the allocation.  His patches
result in significant memory size savings, and I have put my
fix on top of those patches.

Here's an example of the panic:

     smpboot: Booting Node   1, Processors  #1 OK
     smpboot: Package 1 of CPU 1 exceeds BIOS package data 1.
     ------------[ cut here ]------------
     kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1087!
     invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
     Modules linked in:
     CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 4.14.0-rc2+ #4

This was tested by dropping the number of active cores across
all packages to reproduce the bug above.  Additional testing included
2 socket and 4 socket systems and hotplugging entire sockets in different
order.
