It is useful to have helper to check if the given two CPUs share last level cache. We can do that check by comparing fw_token or by comparing the cache ID. Currently we check just for fw_token as the cache ID is optional. This helper can be used to build the llc_sibling during arch specific topology parsing and feeding information to the sched_domains. This also helps to get rid of llc_id in the CPU topology as it is sort of duplicate information. Also add helper to check if the llc information in cacheinfo is valid or not.

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 Restructured Text 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.
