So I know this is the naming we've gone for the "Cluster" naming, but this
comment isn't really explaining anything.

include/linux/sched/sd_flags.h has a bit more info already:
 * Domain members share CPU cluster (LLC tags or L2 cache)

I had to go through a bit of git history to remember what the CLUSTER thing
was about, how about this:

* SD_CLUSTER             - describes shared shared caches, cache tags or busses
* SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES - describes shared LLC cache

And looking at this it would make sense to:
  rename SD_CLUSTER into SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
  rename SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES into SD_SHARE_LLC
but that's another topic...
