Frank reported kernel panic when he disabled several cores in BIOS
via following option:

  Core Disable Bitmap(Hex)   [0]

with number 0xFFE, which leaves 16 CPUs in system (out of 48).

The kernel panic below goes along with following messages:

 smpboot: Max logical packages: 2^M
 smpboot: APIC(0) Converting physical 0 to logical package 0^M
 smpboot: APIC(20) Converting physical 1 to logical package 1^M

The reason for the panic is wrong value of __max_logical_packages,
which lets logical_package_map uninitialized and the uncore code
relying on this map being properly initialized (maybe we should
add some safety checks there as well).

The __max_logical_packages is computed as:

  DIV_ROUND_UP(total_cpus, ncpus);
  - ncpus being number of cores

With above BIOS setup we get total_cpus == 16 which set
__max_logical_packages to 2 (ncpus is 12). 

Once topology_update_package_map processes CPU with logical
pkg over 2 we display above messages and fail to initialize
the physical_to_logical_pkg map, which makes the uncore code
crash.

The fix is to set __max_logical_packages directly to total_cpus,
which should be the maximum possible logical ID of the pkg in
any case.
