Subject: [GIT PULL] Fix RISC-V's arch-topology reporting

Hey Will/Palmer/Sudeep,

Catalin suggested [0] dropping the CC: stable for the arm64 patch and
instead making it a specific prereq of the RISC-V patch & making a PR,
so here we are.. I was still up when -rc1 came out so pushed it last
night to get the test coverage, but LKP seems to not have reported a
build success since early on the 13th so not holding my horses! I built
it again for both ARMs and RISC-V myself.

I tagged it tonight, so it's on conor/linux.git as riscv-topo-on-6.0-rc1
with the prereq specified.

Not sure if you want to merge this too Sudeep or if that's up to Greg?

Thanks,
Conor.

  riscv: topology: fix default topology reporting (2022-08-15 22:07:34 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Fix RISC-V's topology reporting

The goal here is the fix the incorrectly reported arch topology on
RISC-V which seems to have been broken since it was added.
cpu, package and thread IDs are all currently reported as -1, so tools
like lstopo think systems have multiple threads on the same core when
this is not true:
https://github.com/open-mpi/hwloc/issues/536

arm64's topology code basically applies to RISC-V too, so it has been
made generic along with the removal of MPIDR related code, which
appears to be redudant code since '3102bc0e6ac7 ("arm64: topology: Stop
using MPIDR for topology information")' replaced the code that actually
interacted with MPIDR with default values.
