topo_set_cpuids() updates cpu_present_map and cpu_possible map. It is
invoked during enumeration and "physical hotplug" operations. In the
latter case this results in a kernel crash because cpu_possible_map is
marked read only after init completes.
There is no reason to update cpu_possible_map in that function. During
enumeration cpu_possible_map is not relevant and gets fully initialized
after enumeration completed. On "physical hotplug" the bit is already set
because the kernel allows only CPUs to be plugged which have been
enumerated and associated to a CPU number during early boot.
Remove the bogus update of cpu_possible_map.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
