While offlining a CPU, system currently iterate through all the CPUs in the DIE to clear sibling, l2_cache and smallcore maps. However if there are more cores in a DIE, system can end up spending more time iterating through CPUs which are completely unrelated. Optimize this by only iterating through smaller but relevant cpumap. If shared_cache is set, cpu_l2_cache_map should be relevant else cpu_sibling_map would be relevant.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
