Hey all,
It's my first time messing around with arch/ code at all, let alone
more than one arch, so forgive me if I have screwed up how to do a
migration like this.

The goal here is the fix the incorrectly reported arch topology on
RISC-V which seems to have been broken since it was added.
cpu, package and thread IDs are all currently reported as -1, so tools
like lstopo think systems have multiple threads on the same core when
this is not true:
https://github.com/open-mpi/hwloc/issues/536

arm64's topology code basically applies to RISC-V too, so it has been
made generic along with the removal of MPIDR related code, which
appears to be redudant code since '3102bc0e6ac7 ("arm64: topology: Stop
using MPIDR for topology information")' replaced the code that actually
interacted with MPIDR with default values.

I only built tested for arm{,64} , so hopefully it is not broken when
used. Testing on both arm64 & !SMP RISC-V would really be appreciated!

For V2, I dropped the idea of doing a RISC-V specific implementation
followed by a move to the generic code & just went for the more straight
forward method of moving to the shared version first. I also dropped the
RFC.

V3 moves store_cpu_topology() down inside the arch check alongside the
init function so that boot on 32bit arm is not broken.

Thanks,
Conor
