[PATCH v3 0/2] x86/smpboot: tidy sched-topology and drop useless SMT level

[Li Chen <me@linux.beauty>]

From: Li Chen <chenl311@chinatelecom.cn>

This two–patch series cleans up sched-domain topology handling and
eliminates hundreds of pointless attach/destroy cycles for large
machines when SMT is not available.

Patch 1 (from Thomas, unchanged) gets rid of the #ifdef maze in
build_sched_topology() by statically initialising the topology array.

Patch 2 (mine) is a follow-up that simply memmoves the array when
cpu_smt_num_threads <= 1, so the SMT level never gets created and
immediately torn down again.

Tested on Qemu.

changelog:
v2: fix wording issue as suggested by Thomas [1]
v3: remove pointless memset and adjust PKG index accordingly, as
    suggested by Thomas [2], and refine some other wording issues.
