xen/x86: Update topology map for PV VCPUs
Early during boot topology_update_package_map() computes
logical_pkg_ids for all present processors.
Later, when processors are brought up, identify_cpu() updates
these values based on phys_pkg_id which is a function of
initial_apicid. On PV guests the latter may point to a
non-existing node, causing logical_pkg_ids to be set to -1.
Intel's RAPL uses logical_pkg_id (as topology_logical_package_id())
to index its arrays and therefore in this case will point to index
65535 (since logical_pkg_id is a u16). This could lead to either a
crash or may actually access random memory location.
As a workaround, we recompute topology during CPU bringup to reset
logical_pkg_id to a valid value.
(The reason for initial_apicid being bogus is because it is
initial_apicid of the processor from which the guest is launched.
This value is CPUID(1).EBX[31:24])
