[Skiboot] [PATCH] hdata/cpu: account for p9 shared caches

On P9 the L2 and L3 caches are shared between pairs of SMT=4 cores.
Currently this is not accounted for when creating caches nodes in
the device tree. This patch adds additional checking so that a
cache node is only created for the first core in the pair and
the second core will reference the cache correctly.
