Common code doesn't call arch_update_cpu_topology() anymore on
cpu hotplug. But our architecture backend relied on that in order to
update the cpu_core_map. For machines without cpu topology support
this leads uninitialized cpu_core_maps for later on added cpus.
To solve this just initialize the maps with cpu_possible_map, since
that will be always valid for machines without topology support.

cpu_coregroup_map used to grab a mutex on s390 since it was only
called from process context.
Since c7c22e4d5c "block: add support
for IO CPU affinity" this is not true anymore.
It now also gets called from softirq context.
To prevent possible deadlocks change this in architecture code and
use a spinlock instead of a mutex.

As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.

When we get a notification that cpu topology changed, we schedule a
work struct which just calls arch_reinit_sched_domains. This function
in turn calls get_online_cpus() which results int the lockdep warning
below.
After all it turnded out that it's not legal to call get_online_cpus()
from the context of a multi-threaded work queue.
It could deadlock this way:
process 0 (events/cpu-x):
-> run_workqueue
-> removes my work_struct from the work queue
-> calls work_struct->fn
-> get_online_cpus()
-> locks on cpu_hotplug.lock since process 1 below is doing cpu hotplug
process 1:
-> cpu_down (for cpu-x)
-> cpu_hotplug_begin (holds cpu_hotplug.lock now)
-> cpu-x dead
-> notifier_call_chain with CPU_DEAD
-> cleanup_workqueue_thread
-> flush_cpu_workqueue (succeeds)
-> kthread_stop for events/cpu-x
-> now kthread_stop waits for my work_struct to complete from within
process 0. -> dead.
A single threaded workqueue wouldn't have such problems, however there is
no such common queue available and it's not worth to create one for the
very rare calls to arch_reinit_sched_domains.
So we just create a kernel thread from our work struct which calls
arch_reinit_sched_domains and are done with it.
Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra for helping me figuring out
that this isn't a false positive lockdep warning:

If vertical cpu polarization is active then the hypervisor will
dispatch certain cpus for a longer time than other cpus for maximum
performance. For example if a guest would have three virtual cpus,
each of them with a share of 33 percent, then in case of vertical
cpu polarization all of the processing time would be combined to a
single cpu which would run all the time, while the other two cpus
would get nearly no cpu time.
There are three different types of vertical cpus: high, medium and
low. Low cpus hardly get any real cpu time, while high cpus get a
full real cpu. Medium cpus get something in between.
In order to switch between the two possible modes (default is
horizontal) a 0 for horizontal polarization or a 1 for vertical
polarization must be written to the dispatching sysfs attribute:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/dispatching
The polarization of each single cpu can be figured out by the
polarization sysfs attribute of each cpu:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/polarization
horizontal, vertical:high, vertical:medium, vertical:low or unknown.
When switching polarization the polarization attribute may contain
the value unknown until the configuration change is done and the
kernel has figured out the new polarization of each cpu.
Note that running a system with different types of vertical cpus may
result in significant performance regressions. If possible only one
type of vertical cpus should be used. All other cpus should be
offlined.
