topology/sysfs: rework book and drawer topology ifdefery

Provide default defines for the topology_book_[id|cpumask] and
topology_drawer_[id|cpumask] macros just like for each other topology
level.
This way all topology levels are handled in a similar way. Still the
the book and drawer levels are only used on s390, and also the sysfs
attributes are only created on s390. However other architectures may
opt in if wanted.

topology/sysfs: export cluster attributes only if an architectures has support

The cluster_id and cluster_cpus topology sysfs attributes have been
added with commit c5e22feffdd7 ("topology: Represent clusters of CPUs
within a die").

They are currently only used for x86, arm64, and riscv (via generic
arch topology), however they are still present with bogus default
values for all other architectures. Instead of enforcing such new
sysfs attributes to all architectures, make them only optional visible
if an architecture opts in by defining both the topology_cluster_id
and topology_cluster_cpumask attributes.

This is similar to what was done when the book and drawer topology
levels were introduced: avoid useless and therefore confusing sysfs
attributes for architectures which cannot make use of them.

This should not break any existing applications, since this is a
new interface introduced with the v5.16 merge window.

older kernel versions without such attributes - besides that they
contain only useful information for x86.

topology: Represent clusters of CPUs within a die

Both ACPI and DT provide the ability to describe additional layers of
topology between that of individual cores and higher level constructs
such as the level at which the last level cache is shared.
In ACPI this can be represented in PPTT as a Processor Hierarchy
Node Structure [1] that is the parent of the CPU cores and in turn
has a parent Processor Hierarchy Nodes Structure representing
a higher level of topology.

For example Kunpeng 920 has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node, and each
cluster has 4 cpus. All clusters share L3 cache data, but each cluster
has local L3 tag. On the other hand, each clusters will share some
internal system bus.

That means spreading tasks among clusters will bring more bandwidth
while packing tasks within one cluster will lead to smaller cache
synchronization latency. So both kernel and userspace will have
a chance to leverage this topology to deploy tasks accordingly to
achieve either smaller cache latency within one cluster or an even
distribution of load among clusters for higher throughput.

This patch exposes cluster topology to both kernel and userspace.
Libraried like hwloc will know cluster by cluster_cpus and related
sysfs attributes. PoC of HWLOC support at [2].

Note this patch only handle the ACPI case.

Special consideration is needed for SMT processors, where it is
necessary to move 2 levels up the hierarchy from the leaf nodes
(thus skipping the processor core level).

Note that arm64 / ACPI does not provide any means of identifying
a die level in the topology but that may be unrelate to the cluster
level.
