Peter Zijlstra 528d89a470 x86/topo: Fix SNC topology mess
Per 4d6dd05d07 ("sched/topology: Fix sched domain build error for GNR, CWF in
SNC-3 mode"), the original crazy SNC-3 SLIT table was:

node distances:
node     0    1    2    3    4    5
    0:   10   15   17   21   28   26
    1:   15   10   15   23   26   23
    2:   17   15   10   26   23   21
    3:   21   28   26   10   15   17
    4:   23   26   23   15   10   15
    5:   26   23   21   17   15   10

And per:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250825075642.GQ3245006@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/

The suggestion was to average the off-trace clusters to restore sanity.

However, 4d6dd05d07 implements this under various assumptions:

 - anything GNR/CWF with numa_in_package;
 - there will never be more than 2 packages;
 - the off-trace cluster will have distance >20

And then HPE shows up with a machine that matches the
Vendor-Family-Model checks but looks like this:

Here's an 8 socket (2 chassis) HPE system with SNC enabled:

node   0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11  12  13  14  15
  0:  10  12  16  16  16  16  18  18  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  1:  12  10  16  16  16  16  18  18  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  2:  16  16  10  12  18  18  16  16  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  3:  16  16  12  10  18  18  16  16  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  4:  16  16  18  18  10  12  16  16  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  5:  16  16  18  18  12  10  16  16  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  6:  18  18  16  16  16  16  10  12  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  7:  18  18  16  16  16  16  12  10  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40
  8:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  10  12  16  16  16  16  18  18
  9:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  12  10  16  16  16  16  18  18
 10:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  16  16  10  12  18  18  16  16
 11:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  16  16  12  10  18  18  16  16
 12:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  16  16  18  18  10  12  16  16
 13:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  16  16  18  18  12  10  16  16
 14:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  18  18  16  16  16  16  10  12
 15:  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  40  18  18  16  16  16  16  12  10

 10 = Same chassis and socket
 12 = Same chassis and socket (SNC)
 16 = Same chassis and adjacent socket
 18 = Same chassis and non-adjacent socket
 40 = Different chassis

Turns out, the 'max 2 packages' thing is only relevant to the SNC-3 parts, the
smaller parts do 8 sockets (like usual). The above SLIT table is sane, but
violates the previous assumptions and trips a WARN.

Now that the topology code has a sensible measure of nodes-per-package, we can
use that to divinate the SNC mode at hand, and only fix up SNC-3 topologies.

There is a 'healthy' amount of paranoia code validating the assumptions on the
SLIT table, a simple pr_err(FW_BUG) print on failure and a fallback to using
the regular table. Lets see how long this lasts :-)
