Subject: [Patch v6 15/16] sched/smt: Make sched_smt_present track topology

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

From: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@...radead.org>

Currently the sched_smt_present static key is only enabled when we
encounter SMT topology. However there is demand to also disable the key
when the topology changes such that there is no SMT present anymore.

Implement this by making the key count the number of cores that have SMT
enabled.

In particular, the SMT topology bits are set before we enable
interrrupts and similarly, are cleared after we disable interrupts for
the last time and die.
