commit 2110d70c5e58326a10e93cfefdc0b3686e2ada12 upstream.

Philip Müller reported a hang when booting 32-bit 4.1 kernel on an AMD
box. A fragment of the splat was enough to pinpoint the issue:

  task: f58e0000 ti: f58e8000 task.ti: f58e800
  EIP: 0060:[<c135a903>] EFLAGS: 00010206 CPU: 0
  EIP is at free_cache_attributes+0x83/0xd0
  EAX: 00000001 EBX: f589d46c ECX: 00000090 EDX: 360c2000
  ESI: 00000000 EDI: c1724a80 EBP: f58e9ec0 ESP: f58e9ea0
   DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068
  CR0: 8005003b CR2: 000000ac CR3: 01731000 CR4: 000006d0

cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() did check sibling CPUs cacheinfo descriptor
while the respective teardown path cache_shared_cpu_map_remove() didn't.
Fix that.

>>From tglx's version: to be on the safe side, move the cacheinfo
descriptor check to free_cache_attributes(), thus cleaning up the
hotplug path a little and making this even more robust.
