Do we care about it's return value? We are not reading that in the
patch.
this function is mainly only needed in __init, can we mark it so.

For PowerVM, we now have two places which will enable coregroup_enabled
during mem_topology_setup(). Is there some way we can unify that?
This also means we enable coregroup in case of PowerVM with SPLPAR when
per-cpu VPHN associativity index > primary_domain_index+1. But this
isn't reflected in your commit msg. The commit msg only says this
affects PowerNV.

Looks like leftover removed from previous patch. This change should be
fixed in patch-2 itself.
