powerpc/smp: Stop updating cpu_core_mask

Browse source 
Anton Blanchard reported that his 4096 vcpu KVM guest took around 30
minutes to boot. He also analyzed it to the time taken to iterate while
setting the cpu_core_mask.

Further analysis shows that cpu_core_mask and cpu_cpu_mask for any CPU
would be equal on Power. However updating cpu_core_mask took forever to
update as its a per cpu cpumask variable. Instead cpu_cpu_mask was a per
NODE /per DIE cpumask that was shared by all the respective CPUs.

Also cpu_cpu_mask is needed from a scheduler perspective. However
cpu_core_map is an exported symbol. Hence stop updating cpu_core_map
and make it point to cpu_cpu_mask.
