[PATCH 2/2] powerpc/cacheinfo: Remove the redundant get_shared_cpu_map()

From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The helper function get_shared_cpu_map() was added in

'commit 500fe5f550ec ("powerpc/cacheinfo: Report the correct
shared_cpu_map on big-cores")'

and subsequently expanded upon in

'commit 0be47634db0b ("powerpc/cacheinfo: Print correct cache-sibling
map/list for L2 cache")'

in order to help report the correct groups of threads sharing these caches
on big-core systems where groups of threads within a core can share
different sets of caches.

Now that powerpc/cacheinfo is aware of "ibm,thread-groups" property,
cache->shared_cpu_map contains the correct set of thread-siblings
sharing the cache. Hence we no longer need the functions
get_shared_cpu_map(). This patch removes this function. We also remove
the helper function index_dir_to_cpu() which was only called by
get_shared_cpu_map().

With these functions removed, we can still see the correct
cache-sibling map/list for L1 and L2 caches on systems with L1 and L2
caches distributed among groups of threads in a core.

With this patch, on a SMT8 POWER10 system where the L1 and L2 caches
are split between the two groups of threads in a core, for CPUs 8,9,
the L1-Data, L1-Instruction, L2, L3 cache CPU sibling list is as
follows:
