Move the cpuidle driver check from __acpi_processor_start() to
acpi_processor_power_init() which allows variable acpi_idle_driver to

Commit 7a8c994cbb2d ("ACPI: processor: idle: Optimize ACPI idle
driver registration") moved the ACPI idle driver registration to
acpi_processor_driver_init() and acpi_processor_power_init() does
not register an idle driver any more.

Accordingly, the cpuidle driver check in __acpi_processor_start() needs
to be updated to avoid calling acpi_processor_power_init() without a
cpuidle driver, in which case the registration of the cpuidle device
in that function would lead to a NULL pointer dereference in
__cpuidle_register_device().

Currently, the ACPI idle driver is registered from within a CPU
hotplug callback. Although this didn't cause any functional issues,
this is questionable and confusing. And it is better to register
the cpuidle driver when all of the CPUs have been brought up.

So add a new function to initialize acpi_idle_driver based on the
power management information of an available CPU and register cpuidle
driver in acpi_processor_driver_init().

<title>ACPI: processor: Rescan "dead" SMT siblings during initialization</title>

<content type='text'>
Make acpi_processor_driver_init() call arch_cpu_rescan_dead_smt_siblings(),
via a new wrapper function called acpi_idle_rescan_dead_smt_siblings(),
after successfully initializing the driver, to allow the "dead" SMT
siblings to go into deep idle states, which is necessary for the
processor to be able to reach deep package C-states (like PC10) going
forward, so that power can be reduced sufficiently in suspend-to-idle,
among other things.

However, do it only if the ACPI idle driver is the current cpuidle
driver (otherwise it is assumed that another cpuidle driver will take
care of this) and avoid doing it on architectures other than x86.

<title>ACPI: processor: Move arch_init_invariance_cppc() call later</title>

arch_init_invariance_cppc() is called at the end of
acpi_cppc_processor_probe() in order to configure frequency invariance
based upon the values from _CPC.

This however doesn't work on AMD CPPC shared memory designs that have
AMD preferred cores enabled because _CPC needs to be analyzed from all
cores to judge if preferred cores are enabled.

This issue manifests to users as a warning since commit 21fb59ab4b97
("ACPI: CPPC: Adjust debug messages in amd_set_max_freq_ratio() to warn"):
```
Could not retrieve highest performance (-19)
```

However the warning isn't the cause of this, it was actually
commit 279f838a61f9 ("x86/amd: Detect preferred cores in
amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator()") which exposed the issue.

To fix this problem, change arch_init_invariance_cppc() into a new weak
symbol that is called at the end of acpi_processor_driver_init().
Each architecture that supports it can declare the symbol to override
the weak one.

Define it for x86, in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/cppc.c, and for all of the
architectures using the generic arch_topology.c code.

<title>ACPI: processor: Simplify initial onlining to use same path for cold and hotplug</title>

<content type='text'>
Separate code paths, combined with a flag set in acpi_processor.c to
indicate a struct acpi_processor was for a hotplugged CPU ensured that
per CPU data was only set up the first time that a CPU was initialized.
This appears to be unnecessary as the paths can be combined by letting
the online logic also handle any CPUs online at the time of driver load.

Motivation for this change, beyond simplification, is that ARM64
virtual CPU HP uses the same code paths for hotplug and cold path in
acpi_processor.c so had no easy way to set the flag for hotplug only.
Removing this necessity will enable ARM64 vCPU HP to reuse the existing
code paths.
