Prarit Bhargava 21dc3d5c88 x86, AMD: Fix stale cpuid4_info shared_map data in shared_cpu_map cpumasks
commit ebb682f522 upstream.

The per_cpu cpuid4_info shared_map can contain stale data when CPUs are added
and removed.

The stale data can lead to a NULL pointer derefernce panic on a remove of a
CPU that has had siblings previously removed.

This patch resolves the panic by verifying a cpu is actually online before
adding it to the shared_cpu_map, only examining cpus that are part of
the same lower level cache, and by updating other siblings lowest level cache
maps when a cpu is added.
