When build_cpu_topo() encounters offline/absent CPUs, it fails to find any
sysfs entries and returns failure.
This leads to build_cpu_topology() and write_cpu_topology() failing as
well.
Because HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY has not been written, read leaves cpu_topology_map
NULL and we get NULL ptr deref at:
...
cmd_test
__cmd_test
test_and_print
run_test
test_session_topology
check_cpu_topology

Session topology: FAILED!
This patch makes build_cpu_topology() skip offline/absent CPUs, by checking
their presence against cpu_map built from online CPUs.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
