The function cpu_thread_mask_to_cores() which returns a cpumask
of one and only one thread enabled for a given core has a bug
as it's shifting things in the wrong direction.
Note: The implementation is still sub-optimal in the sense that
for a given core, the thread set in the result may not be any of
the threads set in the input, which can lead to more IPIs then
strictly necessary, but it isn't incorrect per-se. I'll improve
that later.

This cleans up the SMT thread handling, removing some hard coded
assumptions and providing a set of helpers to convert between linux
cpu numbers, thread numbers and cores.
This implementation requires the number of threads per core to be a
power of 2 and identical on all cores in the system, but it's an
implementation detail, not an API requirement and so this limitation
can be lifted in the future if anybody ever needs it.
