x86/cpu/topology: Retrieve cores per package from topology bitmaps

Similar to other sizing information the number of cores per package can be
established from the topology bitmap.

Provide a function for retrieving that information and replace the buggy
hack in the CPUID evaluation with it.

x86/cpu: Use common topology code for HYGON

Switch it over to use the consolidated topology evaluation and remove the
temporary safe guards which are not longer needed.

No functional change intended.

x86/cpu: Provide an AMD/HYGON specific topology parser

AMD/HYGON uses various methods for topology evaluation:

- Leaf 0x80000008 and 0x8000001e based with an optional leaf 0xb,
which is the preferred variant for modern CPUs.

Leaf 0xb will be superseded by leaf 0x80000026 soon, which is just
another variant of the Intel 0x1f leaf for whatever reasons.

- Subleaf 0x80000008 and NODEID_MSR base

- Legacy fallback

That code is following the principle of random bits and pieces all over the
place which results in multiple evaluations and impenetrable code flows in
the same way as the Intel parsing did.

Provide a sane implementation by clearly separating the three variants and
bringing them in the proper preference order in one place.

This provides the parsing for both AMD and HYGON because there is no point
in having a separate HYGON parser which only differs by 3 lines of
code. Any further divergence between AMD and HYGON can be handled in
different functions, while still sharing the existing parsers.

x86/cpu: Provide a sane leaf 0xb/0x1f parser

detect_extended_topology() along with it's early() variant is a classic
example for duct tape engineering:

- It evaluates an array of subleafs with a boatload of local variables
for the relevant topology levels instead of using an array to save the
enumerated information and propagate it to the right level

- It has no boundary checks for subleafs

- It prevents updating the die_id with a crude workaround instead of
checking for leaf 0xb which does not provide die information.

- It's broken vs. the number of dies evaluation as it uses:

num_processors[DIE_LEVEL] / num_processors[CORE_LEVEL]

which "works" only correctly if there is none of the intermediate
topology levels (MODULE/TILE) enumerated.

There is zero value in trying to "fix" that code as the only proper fix is
to rewrite it from scratch.

Implement a sane parser with proper code documentation, which will be used
for the consolidated topology evaluation in the next step.

x86/cpu: Add legacy topology parser

The legacy topology detection via CPUID leaf 4, which provides the number
of cores in the package and CPUID leaf 1 which provides the number of
logical CPUs in case that FEATURE_HT is enabled and the CMP_LEGACY feature
is not set, is shared for Intel, Centaur and Zhaoxin CPUs.

Lift the code from common.c without the early detection hack and provide it
as common fallback mechanism.

Will be utilized in later changes.

x86/cpu: Provide cpu_init/parse_topology()

Topology evaluation is a complete disaster and impenetrable mess. It's
scattered all over the place with some vendor implementations doing early
evaluation and some not. The most horrific part is the permanent
overwriting of smt_max_siblings and __max_die_per_package, instead of
establishing them once on the boot CPU and validating the result on the
APs.

The goals are:

- One topology evaluation entry point

- Proper sharing of pointlessly duplicated code

- Proper structuring of the evaluation logic and preferences.

- Evaluating important system wide information only once on the boot CPU

- Making the 0xb/0x1f leaf parsing less convoluted and actually fixing
the short comings of leaf 0x1f evaluation.

Start to consolidate the topology evaluation code by providing the entry
points for the early boot CPU evaluation and for the final parsing on the
boot CPU and the APs.

Move the trivial pieces into that new code:

- The initialization of cpuinfo_x86::topo

- The evaluation of CPUID leaf 1, which presets topo::initial_apicid

- topo_apicid is set to topo::initial_apicid when invoked from early
boot. When invoked for the final evaluation on the boot CPU it reads
the actual APIC ID, which makes apic_get_initial_apicid() obsolete
once everything is converted over.

Provide a temporary helper function topo_converted() which shields off the
not yet converted CPU vendors from invoking code which would break them.
This shielding covers all vendor CPUs which support SMP, but not the
historical pure UP ones as they only need the topology info init and
eventually the initial APIC initialization.

Provide two new members in cpuinfo_x86::topo to store the maximum number of
SMT siblings and the number of dies per package and add them to the debugfs
readout. These two members will be used to populate this information on the
boot CPU and to validate the APs against it.
