This hunk won't work for SMT enabled systems. It'll cause all threads under
an LLC to be considered SMT siblings. For example, threads 0 &2 will have
different cpu_core_id, so the first check will fail. But it'll match on the
second check since cu_id will be initialized to 0.

To get around this we can set cu_id for all TOPOEXT systems, and update
cpu_core_id, etc. for SMT enabled systems. This way we can just change
cpu_core_id to cu_id in match_smt().

I tested this patch,  with the above changes, on a Fam17h SMT enabled
system. I'll test with SMT disabled and also on a fully-loaded Fam15h
system soon.

Thanks,
