This patch causes boot regression on TDX guest. The guest crashes on SMP
bring up.

The change makes use of smp_num_siblings earlier than before: the mask get
constructed in acpi_boot_init() codepath. Later on smp_num_siblings gets
updated in detect_ht().

In my setup with 16 vCPUs, smp_num_siblings is 16 before detect_ht() and
set to 1 in detect_ht().
