[PATCH v3 09/11] powerpc/smp: Optimize update_mask_by_l2

All threads of a SMT4 core can either be part of this CPU's l2-cache
mask or not related to this CPU l2-cache mask. Use this relation to
reduce the number of iterations needed to find all the CPUs that share
the same l2-cache.

Use a temporary mask to iterate through the CPUs that may share l2_cache
mask. Also instead of setting one CPU at a time into cpu_l2_cache_mask,
copy the SMT4/sub mask at one shot.

Changelog v2->v3:
	Use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL since allocations need to
	atomic at the time of CPU HotPlug
