Subject: sched/topology: Fix building of overlapping sched-groups

From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]>

commit 0372dd2736e02672ac6e189c31f7d8c02ad543cd upstream.

When building the overlapping groups, we very obviously should start with the previous domain of _this_ @cpu, not CPU-0.

This can be readily demonstrated with a topology like:

node 0 1 2 3

    0:  10  20  30  20
    1:  20  10  20  30
    2:  30  20  10  20
    3:  20  30  20  10

Where (for example) CPU1 ends up generating the following nonsensical groups:

[] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
[] domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
[] groups: 1 2 0
[] domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
[] groups: 1-3 (cpu_capacity = 3072) 0-1,3 (cpu_capacity = 3072)

Where the fact that domain 1 doesn't include a group with span 0-2 is the obvious fail.

With patch this looks like:

[] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
[] domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
[] groups: 1 0 2
[] domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
[] groups: 0-2 (cpu_capacity = 3072) 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity = 3072)
