[PATCH v4 09/10] sched/topology: Introduce SD metaflag for flags needing > 1 groups

[Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com>]

In preparation of cleaning up the sd_degenerate*() functions, mark flags
that are only relevant when their associated domain has more than a single
group. With this, build a compile-time mask of those SD flags.
