    Subject[PATCH]: AMD cache - Fix stale data in shared_cpu_map cpumasks
    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.
