Subject: [PATCH 4.14 087/146] sched/smt: Make sched_smt_present track topology

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

commit c5511d03ec090980732e929c318a7a6374b5550e upstream

Currently the 'sched_smt_present' static key is enabled when at CPU bringup
SMT topology is observed, but it is never disabled. 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 interrrupts are enabled
and similarly, are cleared after interrupts are disabled for the last time
and the CPU dies.
