powerpc: Cleanup APIs for cpu/thread/core mappings
These APIs take logical cpu number as input
Change cpu_first_thread_in_core() to cpu_first_thread_sibling()
Change cpu_last_thread_in_core() to cpu_last_thread_sibling()
These APIs convert core number (index) to logical cpu/thread numbers
Add cpu_first_thread_of_core(int core)
Changed cpu_thread_to_core() to cpu_core_index_of_thread(int cpu)
The goal is to make 'threads_per_core' accessible to the
pseries_energy module. Instead of making an API to read
threads_per_core, this is a higher level wrapper function to
convert from logical cpu number to core number.
The current APIs cpu_first_thread_in_core() and
cpu_last_thread_in_core() returns logical CPU number while
cpu_thread_to_core() returns core number or index which is
not a logical CPU number. The new APIs are now clearly named to
distinguish 'core number' versus first and last 'logical cpu
number' in that core.
The new APIs cpu_{first,last}_thread_sibling() work on
logical cpu numbers. While cpu_first_thread_of_core() and
cpu_core_index_of_thread() work on core index.
Example usage: (4 threads per core system)
cpu_first_thread_sibling(5) = 4
cpu_last_thread_sibling(5) = 7
cpu_core_index_of_thread(5) = 1
cpu_first_thread_of_core(1) = 4
cpu_core_index_of_thread() is used in cpu_to_drc_index() in the
module and cpu_first_thread_of_core() is used in
drc_index_to_cpu() in the module.
Make API changes to few callers. Export symbols for use in modules.
