powerpc: VPHN topology change updates all siblings

When an associativity level change is found for one thread, the
siblings threads need to be updated as well.  This is done today
for PRRN in stage_topology_update() but is missing for VPHN in
update_cpu_associativity_changes_mask().  This patch will correctly
update all thread siblings during a topology change.

Without this patch a topology update can result in a CPU in
init_sched_groups_power() getting stuck indefinitely in a loop.

This loop is built in build_sched_groups(). As a result of the thread
moving to a node separate from its siblings the struct sched_group will
have its next pointer set to point to itself rather than the sched_group
struct of the next thread.  This happens because we have a domain without
the SD_OVERLAP flag, which is correct, and a topology that doesn't conform
with reality (threads on the same core assigned to different numa nodes).
When this list is traversed by init_sched_groups_power() it will reach
the thread's sched_group structure and loop indefinitely; the cpu will
be stuck at this point.

The bug was exposed when VPHN was enabled in commit b7abef0 (v3.9).
