Currently, the CPU_STARTING notifiers would observe an incorrect sibling
mask since the notifier chain is called before the topology masks are updated
for the new cpu.
Update the topology masks before calling the notifier chain to fix this
problem.

Hmm, smp_store_cpu_info takes a copy of loops_per_jiffy. Are you sure it's
safe to move the call before calibrate_delay?

Right! - I had looked at the arm64 version . I checked for arm32 now and I think we should be safe to move calibrate_delay before the smp_store_cpu_info and I can push a v2 version if there are no concerns. I did not see calibrate_delay having any dependency for cpu_starting notifiers.
