I haven't been following the sched core stuff closely; can't this
rq->core assignment be done in sched_cpu_activate() instead? We already
look at the cpu_smt_mask() in there, and it is valid (we go through the
entirety of secondary_start_kernel() before getting anywhere near
CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE).

I don't think this breaks anything, but without this dependency in
sched_cpu_starting() then there isn't really a reason for this move.
