[Intel-gfx] [core-for-CI] x86/topology: fix erroneous smp_num_siblings on Intel Hybrid platform

From: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang at intel.com>

The SMT siblings value returned by CPUID.1F SMT level EBX differs
among CPUs on Intel Hybrid platforms like AlderLake and MeteorLake.
It returns 2 for Pcore CPUs which have SMT siblings and returns 1 for
Ecore CPUs which do not have SMT siblings.

Today, the CPU boot code sets the global variable smp_num_siblings when
every CPU thread is brought up. The last thread to boot will overwrite
it with the number of siblings of *that* thread. That last thread to
boot will "win". If the thread is a Pcore, smp_num_siblings == 2.  If it
is an Ecore, smp_num_siblings == 1.

smp_num_siblings describes if the *system* supports SMT.  It should
specify the maximum number of SMT threads among all cores.

Ensure that smp_num_siblings represents the system-wide maximum number
of siblings by always increasing its value. Never allow it to decrease.

On MeteorLake-P platform, this fixes a problem that the Ecore CPUs are
not updated in any cpu sibling map because the system is treated as an
UP system when probing Ecore CPUs.

Below shows part of the CPU topology information before and after the
fix, for both Pcore and Ecore CPU (cpu0 is Pcore, cpu 12 is Ecore).
...
-/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/package_cpus:000fff
-/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/package_cpus_list:0-11
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/package_cpus:3fffff
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/package_cpus_list:0-21
...
-/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu12/topology/package_cpus:001000
-/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu12/topology/package_cpus_list:12
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu12/topology/package_cpus:3fffff
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu12/topology/package_cpus_list:0-21

And this also breaks userspace tools like lscpu
-Core(s) per socket:  1
-Socket(s):           11
+Core(s) per socket:  16
+Socket(s):           1
