arch_topology: Limit span of cpu_clustergroup_mask()

Currently the cluster identifier is not set on DT based platforms.
The reset or default value is -1 for all the CPUs. Once we assign the
cluster identifier values correctly, the cluster_sibling mask will be
populated and returned by cpu_clustergroup_mask() to contribute in the
creation of the CLS scheduling domain level, if SCHED_CLUSTER is
enabled.

To avoid topologies that will result in questionable or incorrect
scheduling domains, impose restrictions regarding the span of clusters,
as presented to scheduling domains building code: cluster_sibling should
not span more or the same CPUs as cpu_coregroup_mask().

This is needed in order to obtain a strict separation between the MC and
CLS levels, and maintain the same domains for existing platforms in
the presence of CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER, where the new cluster information
is redundant and irrelevant for the scheduler.

While previously the scheduling domain builder code would have removed MC
as redundant and kept CLS if SCHED_CLUSTER was enabled and the
cpu_coregroup_mask() and cpu_clustergroup_mask() spanned the same CPUs,
now CLS will be removed and MC kept.
