cpu-map binding can be used to described cpu topology for both
RISC-V & ARM. It makes more sense to move the binding to document
to a common place.

While socket is optional, its probably a good idea to include the node
in the example even if the result is the same. That is because at least
on arm64 the DT clusters=sockets decision had performance implications
for larger systems.
Assuring the socket information is correct is helpful by itself to avoid
having to explain why a single socket machine is displaying some other
value in lscpu.
