[PATCH v2 0/2] Fix NULL pointer dereference issue during discovering UPI topology

From: Alexander Antonov <alexander.antonov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The NULL dereference happens inside upi_fill_topology() procedure in
case of disabling one of the sockets on the system.

For example, if you disable the 2nd socket on a 4-socket system then
uncore_max_dies() returns 3 and inside pmu_alloc_topology() memory will
be allocated only for 3 sockets and stored in type->topology.
In discover_upi_topology() memory is accessed by socket id from CPUNODEID
registers which contain physical ids (from 0 to 3) and on the line:

    upi = &type->topology[nid][idx];

out-of-bound access will happen and the 'upi' pointer will be passed to
upi_fill_topology() where it will be dereferenced.

To avoid this issue update the code to convert physical socket id to
logical socket id in discover_upi_topology() before accessing memory.

Changed in v2:
1. Factor out topology_gidnid_map() with common code for GIDNIDMAP procedure
