As we know, from sched domain's perspective, the DIE layer should be
larger than or at least equal to the MC layer, and in some cases, MC
is defined by the arch specified hardware, MPIDR for example, but NUMA
can be defined by users, with the following system configrations:
*************************************
NUMA:      	 0-2,  3-7
core_siblings:   0-3,  4-7
*************************************
Per the current code, for core 3, its MC cpu map fallbacks to 3~7(its
core_sibings is 0~3 while its numa node map is 3~7).

For the sched MC, when we are build sched groups:
step1. core3 's sched groups chain is built like this: 3->4->5->6->7->3
step2. core4's sched groups chain is built like this: 4->5->6->7->4
so after step2, core3's sched groups for MC level is overlapped, more
importantly, it will fall to dead loop if while(sg != sg->groups)

Obviously, the NUMA node with cpu 3-7 conflict with the MC level cpu
map, but unfortunately, there is no way even detect such cases.

In this patch, prompt a warning message to help with the above cases.

Who are the users you are referring above ?

Do you mean ACPI tables or DT or some firmware tables ?

Is the above simply wrong with respect to hardware and it actually match
core_siblings ?

Again, is cpu 3-7 actually in a NUMA node or is it 4-7 ?

Won't this print warning on all systems that don't have numa within a
package ? What are you trying to achieve here ?

This will trigger warning on all systems that lack cacheinfo topology.
I don't understand the intent of this patch at all. Can you explain
all the steps you follow and the issue you face ?
