Increase cpu topology change poll frequency if a change is anticipated.
Otherwise a user might be a bit confused to have to wait up to a minute
in order to see a change this should be visible immediatly.
However there is no guarantee that the change will happen during the
time frame the poll frequency is increased.

Remove all ifdefs from topology code and also only compile it for the
CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK case. The new code selects SCHED_MC if SCHED_BOOK is
selected. SCHED_MC without SCHED_BOOK is not possible anymore.
Furthermore various sysfs attributes are not available anymore for the
!SCHED_BOOK case. In particular all attributes that correspond to
CPU polarization.
But since all real world kernels have SCHED_BOOK selected anyway this
doesn't matter too much.

Both functions take an int instead of an unsigned int. Fixes these
compile warnings:
kernel/sched.c:7167:2: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

Export the cpu configuration topology via sysinfo. Two new lines are
introduced:
CPU Topology HW: 0 0 0 4 6 4
CPU Topology SW: 0 0 0 0 4 24
The HW line describes the cpu topology nesting levels when the maximum
nesting level is used to get the corresponding SYSIB.
The SW line describes what Linux is actually using. In this case it
supports only two levels (CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK off) and therefore the
hardware folded the two lower levels in the SYSIB response block.

Use default MC sched domain initializer, since performance meassurements
finally showed that this is indeed better.
Besides the fact that the powersavings flags functions didn't make too
much sense, but were unused anyway.

Provide a topology_core_id define which makes sure that the contents of
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id
indeed do contain the core id and not always 0.

Impact: cleanup
cpu_coregroup_mask is the New Hotness.
As S/390 uses theirs internally, so we just make it static.

The default values for SD_MC_INIT cause an additional cpu usage of up
to 40% on some network benchmarks compared to the plain SD_CPU_INIT
values. So just define SD_MC_INIT to SD_CPU_INIT.
More tuning needs to be done.

The old topology_core_siblings() and topology_thread_siblings() return
a cpumask_t; these new ones return a (const) struct cpumask *.
