[PATCH v1] arch_topology: Introduce nr_possible_packages

[PATCH v1] arch_topology: Introduce nr_possible_packages

[Feng Tang]

In multi-sockets platform, kernel or driver code may need the number
of packages for chosing different code directions. Some architecture
already provide such kind of interface like x86, which is being used
in some architecture code and drivers.

Add similar interface 'nr_possible_packages' for platforms which can
get package topology information by parsing ACPI tables in boot phase,
which was verified to show the correct number of packages on some
1-socket and 2-sockets production arm64 servers from different vendors.

Changelog:

  since RFC:
      * use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL (Greg)
	  * change the possible max package ID to 2047 (Greg)
	  * remove the CONFIG_ARM64/RISCV limit for 'nr_possible_packages' (Greg)
