[PATCH v3 06/10] powerpc/smp: Generalize 2nd sched domain

Currently "CACHE" domain happens to be the 2nd sched domain as per
powerpc_topology. This domain will collapse if cpumask of l2-cache is
same as SMT domain. However we could generalize this domain such that it
could mean either be a "CACHE" domain or a "BIGCORE" domain.

While setting up the "CACHE" domain, check if shared_cache is already
set.
