Subject: [PATCH] sched/arm64: store cpu topology before notify_cpu_starting

when SCHED_CORE enabled, sched_cpu_starting() uses thread_sibling as
SMT_MASK to initialize rq->core, but only after store_cpu_topology(),
the thread_sibling is ready for use.

	notify_cpu_starting()
	    -> sched_cpu_starting()	# use thread_sibling

	store_cpu_topology(cpu)
	    -> update_siblings_masks	# set thread_sibling

Fix this by doing notify_cpu_starting later, just like x86 do.
