As far as I can tell, topology_update_package_map() should always succeed and return 0.
Either there is an existing mapping of the physical package to a logical
package id and we don't have to do anything, or we assign a new logical package id to this
physical package id that doesn't have a mapping.

So I agree that checking for the failure and non-zero return of topology_update_package_map()
is useless.

Likewise, I think topology_update_die_map() should always succeed and we can remove
checking of its return value.
