Subject: [PATCH V3 6/8] x86/topology: Fix max_siblings calculation

The max siblings value returned by CPUID.1F SMT level EBX differs among
CPUs on Intel Hybrid platforms like ADL-S/P.
It returns 2 for Pcore CPUs which have HT sibling and 1 for Ecore CPUs
which do not.

Today, CPUID SMT level EBX sets the global variable smp_num_siblings.
Thus, smp_num_siblings is overridden to different values based on the CPU
Pcore/Ecore enumeration order.

For example,

[    0.201005] detect_extended_topology: CPU APICID 0x0, smp_num_siblings 2, x86_max_cores 10
[    0.201117] start_kernel->check_bugs->cpu_smt_check_topology: smp_num_siblings 2
...
[    0.010146] detect_extended_topology: CPU APICID 0x8, smp_num_siblings 2, x86_max_cores 10
...
[    0.010146] detect_extended_topology: CPU APICID 0x39, smp_num_siblings 2, x86_max_cores 10
[    0.010146] detect_extended_topology: CPU APICID 0x48, smp_num_siblings 1, x86_max_cores 20
...
[    0.010146] detect_extended_topology: CPU APICID 0x4e, smp_num_siblings 1, x86_max_cores 20
[    2.583800] sched_set_itmt_core_prio: smp_num_siblings 1

This inconsistency brings several potential issues:
1. some kernel configuration like cpu_smt_control, as set in
   start_kernel()->check_bugs()->cpu_smt_check_topology(), depends on
   smp_num_siblings set by cpu0.
   It is pure luck that all the current hybrid platforms use Pcore as cpu0
   and hide this problem.
2. some per CPU data like cpuinfo_x86.x86_max_cores that depends on
   smp_num_siblings becomes inconsistent and bogus.
3. the final smp_num_siblings value after boot depends on the last CPU
   enumerated, which could either be Pcore or Ecore CPU.

The solution is to use CPUID EAX bits_shift to get the maximum number of
addressable logical processors, and use this to determin max siblings.
Because:
1. the CPUID EAX bits_shift values are consistent among CPUs as far as
   observed.
2. some code already uses smp_num_siblings value to isolate the SMT ID
   bits in APIC-ID, like apic_id_is_primary_thread().
