With the support of socket node parsing from the device tree and
assigning 0 as package_id in absence of socket nodes, there is no need
to check for invalid package_id. It is always initialised to 0 or values
from the device tree socket nodes.

Just drop that now redundant check for uninitialised package_id.

Maybe it would still be good to keep this for systems with potential
errors in DT, where one forgets to add a core in cpu-map.

For example, if I modify juno.dts as follows:
--- a/arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/juno.dts
+++ b/arch/arm64/boot/dts/arm/juno.dts
@@ -51,12 +51,9 @@ core0 {
                                        cpu = <&A53_0>;

                                core1 {
-                                       cpu = <&A53_1>;
-                               };
-                               core2 {
                                        cpu = <&A53_2>;
                                };
-                               core3 {
+                               core2 {
                                        cpu = <&A53_3>;
                                };
                        };
and miss a little core in cluster1, I would end up with an incomplete
topology: core3 would have cluster_id as -1, while all other CPUs would
have a valid value; also, core3 would have package_id = -1.

Thanks,
Ionela.
