topology/sysfs: Provide book id and siblings attributes
Create attributes:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/book_id
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/book_siblings
which show the book id and the book siblings of a cpu.
Unlike the attributes for SMT and MC these attributes are only present if
CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK is set. There is no reason to pollute sysfs for every
architecture with unused attributes.
