coretemp_add_core() should only be called twice, and cpumask_intersects()
should filter out the duplicate ones.

         /*
          * Check whether a thread sibling is already online. If not add the
          * interface for this CPU core.
          */

ToT => Top Of Tree. My apologies, I thought that was a commonly used acronym.
