With the kernel 5.18, the system will hang on boot if it is compiled with
CONFIG_SCHED_MC. The last printed message is "Brought up 1 node, 1 CPU".

The crash happens in sd_init
tl->mask (which is cpu_coregroup_mask) returns an empty mask. This happens
	because cpu_topology[0].core_sibling is empty.
Consequently, sd_span is set to an empty mask
sd_id = cpumask_first(sd_span) sets sd_id == NR_CPUS (because the mask is
	empty)
sd->shared = *per_cpu_ptr(sdd->sds, sd_id); sets sd->shared to NULL
	because sd_id is out of range
atomic_inc(&sd->shared->ref); crashes without printing anything

We can fix it by calling reset_cpu_topology() from init_cpu_topology() - 
this will initialize the sibling masks on CPUs, so that they're not empty.

This patch also removes the variable "dualcores_found", it is useless,
because during boot, init_cpu_topology is called before
store_cpu_topology. Thus, set_sched_topology(parisc_mc_topology) is never
called. We don't need to call it at all because default_topology in
kernel/sched/topology.c contains the same items as parisc_mc_topology.
