[PATCH 1/4] powerpc/smp: Use cpu_to_chip_id() to find core siblings

When building the CPU scheduler topology the kernel uses the ibm,chipid
property from the devicetree to group logical CPUs. Currently the DT
search for this property is open-coded in smp.c and this functionality
is a duplication of what's in cpu_to_chip_id() already. This patch
removes the existing search in favor of that.

It's worth mentioning that the semantics of the search are different
in cpu_to_chip_id(). When there is no ibm,chipid in the CPUs node it
will also search /cpus and / for the property, but this should not
effect the output topology.
