From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

Our SMP boot code has a series of assumptions about what NUMA
nodes are that are enforced via topology_sane().  Once upon a
time, we verified that a CPU package only contained a single node
(fixed in cebf15eb0).  Today, we verify that SMT siblings and
LLCs do not span nodes.

The SMT siblings assumption is safe, but the LLC is violated on
current hardware.

Remove the "sanity" check on LLC spanning NUMA nodes.  Also make
sure to set 'x86_has_numa_in_package = true' which ensures that
we use the x86_numa_in_package_topology[].  The default topology
layers NUMA "outside" of the cache, which is wrong when the cache
spans multiple nodes.

This fixes the warnings, but it does theoretically throw away the
LLC from being consulted in scheduling decisions, if the LLC is
shared at a boundary that is not also a NUMA node.
