Current code assumes that cpumask of cpus sharing a l2-cache mask will
always be a superset of cpu_sibling_mask.

Lets stop that assumption.
It's been a while since I looked, but I'm pretty sure the scheduler
requires child domains to be subsets of their parents. Why is this
necessary or a good idea?
