[PATCH v5 01/34] ACPI / PPTT: Add a helper to fill a cpumask from a processor container

From: James Morse <james.morse at arm.com>

The ACPI MPAM table uses the UID of a processor container specified in
the PPTT to indicate the subset of CPUs and cache topology that can
access each MPAM System Component (MSC).

This information is not directly useful to the kernel. The equivalent
cpumask is needed instead.

Add a helper to find the processor container by its id, then walk
the possible CPUs to fill a cpumask with the CPUs that have this
processor container as a parent.
