Changes from v1 -> v2:
- Based on Gautham's comments, use a separate thread_group_l3_cache_map
  and modify parsing code to build cache_map for L3. This makes the
  cache_map building code isolated from the parsing code.
v1 can be found at:
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2021-June/230680.html

On POWER10 big-core system, the L3 cache reflected by sysfs contains all
the CPUs in the big-core.

grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index*/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index0/shared_cpu_list:0,2,4,6
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index1/shared_cpu_list:0,2,4,6
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index2/shared_cpu_list:0,2,4,6
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list:0-7

In the above example, CPU-0 observes CPU 0-7 in L3 (index3) cache, which
is not correct as only the CPUs in small core share the L3 cache.

The "ibm,thread-groups" contains property "2" to indicate that the CPUs
share both the L2 and L3 caches. This patch-set uses this property to
reflect correct L3 topology to a cache-object.

After applying this patch-set, the topology looks like:
