sched: Fix unreleased llc_shared_mask bit during CPU hotplug
The following bug can be triggered by hot adding and removing a large number of
xen domain0's vcpus repeatedly:

Last level cache shared mask is built during CPU up and the
build_sched_domain() routine takes advantage of it to setup
the sched domain CPU topology.
However, llc_shared_mask is not released during CPU disable,
which leads to an invalid sched domainCPU topology.
This patch fix it by releasing the llc_shared_mask correctly
during CPU disable.
Yasuaki also reported that this can happen on real hardware:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/22/1018
His case is here:
==
Here is an example on my system.
My system has 4 sockets and each socket has 15 cores and HT is
enabled. In this case, each core of sockes is numbered as
follows:
| CPU#
Socket#0 | 0-14 , 60-74
Socket#1 | 15-29, 75-89
Socket#2 | 30-44, 90-104
Socket#3 | 45-59, 105-119
Then llc_shared_mask of CPU#30 has 0x3fff80000001fffc0000000.
It means that last level cache of Socket#2 is shared with
CPU#30-44 and 90-104.
When hot-removing socket#2 and #3, each core of sockets is
numbered as follows:
| CPU#
Socket#0 | 0-14 , 60-74
Socket#1 | 15-29, 75-89
But llc_shared_mask is not cleared. So llc_shared_mask of CPU#30
remains having 0x3fff80000001fffc0000000.
After that, when hot-adding socket#2 and #3, each core of
sockets is numbered as follows:
| CPU#
Socket#0 | 0-14 , 60-74
Socket#1 | 15-29, 75-89
Socket#2 | 30-59
Socket#3 | 90-119
Then llc_shared_mask of CPU#30 becomes
0x3fff8000fffffffc0000000. It means that last level cache of
Socket#2 is shared with CPU#30-59 and 90-104. So the mask has
the wrong value.
