I took a look at this patch again before I start a OLTP test. I
thought the position change of
dereference sd_llc might not be closely connected with current change
as Yicong mentioned.
Besides, after moving the dereference inside SIS_PROP, we might do
cpumask_and() no matter whether
sd_llc is valid or not, which might be of extra cost?
