Any acks? This patch fixes a regression. Also, in case anybody is
wondering, this is not the same regression as was already fixed with

ceb1cbac8eda6 sched/x86: Calculate booted cores after construction of sibling_mask

(Hmm, I probably should have renamed has_mc to has_mp, as the redefinition
expands its scope. I'm not sure if that deserves a v2 though.)
