powerpc/cacheinfo: Report the correct shared_cpu_map on big-cores
Currently on POWER9 SMT8 cores systems, in sysfs, we report the shared_cache_map for L1 caches (both data and instruction) to be the cpu-ids of the threads in SMT8 cores. This is incorrect since on POWER9 SMT8 cores there are two groups of threads, each of which shares its own L1 cache. This patch addresses this by reporting the shared_cpu_map correctly in sysfs for L1 caches.
