x86, AMD: Fix stale cpuid4_info shared_map data in shared_cpu_map cpumasks
The per_cpu cpuid4_info shared_map can contain stale data when CPUs are added
and removed.
The stale data can lead to a NULL pointer derefernce panic on a remove of a
CPU that has had siblings previously removed.
This patch resolves the panic by verifying a cpu is actually online before
adding it to the shared_cpu_map, only examining cpus that are part of
the same lower level cache, and by updating other siblings lowest level cache
maps when a cpu is added.
