The function may call cpumask_equal with tl->mask(cpu) == tl->mask(i),
even when cpu != i. In such case, cpumask_equal() would always return
true, and we can proceed to the next iteration immediately.
Valentin Schneider shares on it:
PKG can potentially hit that condition, and so can any
sched_domain_mask_f that relies on the node masks...
I'm thinking ideally we should have checks in place to
ensure all node_to_cpumask_map[] masks are disjoint,
then we could entirely skip the levels that use these
masks in topology_span_sane(), but there's unfortunately
no nice way to flag them... Also there would be cases
where there's no real difference between PKG and NODE
other than NODE is still based on a per-cpu cpumask and
PKG isn't, so I don't see a nicer way to go about this.
