Subject: [PATCH -next v2 2/2] arch_topology: Fix cache attributes detection in the CPU hotplug path

init_cpu_topology() is called only once at the boot and all the cache
attributes are detected early for all the possible CPUs. However when
the CPUs are hotplugged out, the cacheinfo gets removed. While the
attributes are added back when the CPUs are hotplugged back in as part
of CPU hotplug state machine, it ends up called quite late after the
update_siblings_masks() are called in the secondary_start_kernel()
resulting in wrong llc_sibling_masks.

Move the call to detect_cache_attributes() inside update_siblings_masks()
to ensure the cacheinfo is updated before the LLC sibling masks are
updated. This will fix the incorrect LLC sibling masks generated when
the CPUs are hotplugged out and hotplugged back in again.
