git commit 316ad248307fba13be40f01e92a22b89457c32bc changed
 set_cpu_sibling_map() to a single loop.

On a 2 socket system with 4 nodes, with 8 cores/socket top of tree
now shows

.> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep cores
cpu cores	: 2
cpu cores	: 4
cpu cores	: 5
cpu cores	: 6

This is wrong.  The kernel should show

cpu cores	: 8

for each entry.

set_cpu_sibling_map() must be two separate loops, the first which
calculates the cpu's sibling_maps and the second which determines
how many cores have been booted.  The code does a check on
(cpumask_weight(cpu_sibling_mask(cpu)).  The problem is that
the sibling_mask may not be fully populated by the time this
value is checked resulting in incorrect booted_cores values.

I've found this broken and tested the fix on both AMD multi-socket and Intel
multi-socket systems (as well as single socket single node systems).
-----8<-----

The code in set_cpu_sibling_map() checks the value of
cpu_sibling_mask(cpu) before the mask is fully populated.  This results in
an incorrect calculation of each cpu's booted_cores.  Move back to a two
pass mechanism to properly calculate booted_cores.
