s390/sysinfo,topology: fix cpu topology maximum nesting detection
The maximum nesting of the cpu topology is evaluated when /proc/sysinfo is the first time read. This happens without a lock and a concurrent reader on a different cpu can see and use an invalid intermediate value. Besides the fact that this race is quite unlikely the worst thing that could happen is that /proc/sysinfo would contain bogus information about the machine's cpu topology. Nevertheless this should be fixed. So move the detection code to the early machine detection code and since now the value is early available use it in the topology code as well.
