    Fix host CPU counting on unusual NUMA topologies · ac9dd4a6

    The nodeinfo structure includes
    
        nodes   : the number of NUMA cell, 1 for uniform mem access
        sockets : number of CPU socket per node
        cores   : number of core per socket
        threads : number of threads per core
    
    which does not work well for NUMA topologies where each node does not
    consist of integral number of CPU sockets.
    
    We also have VIR_NODEINFO_MAXCPUS macro in public libvirt.h which
    computes maximum number of CPUs as (nodes * sockets * cores * threads).
    
    As a result, we can't just change sockets to report total number of
    sockets instead of sockets per node. This would probably be the easiest
    since I doubt anyone is using the field directly. But because of the
    macro, some apps might be using sockets indirectly.
    
    This patch leaves sockets to be the number of CPU sockets per node (and
    fixes qemu driver to comply with this) on machines where sockets can be
    divided by nodes. If we can't divide sockets by nodes, we behave as if
    there was just one NUMA node containing all sockets. Apps interested in
    NUMA should consult capabilities XML, which is what they probably do
    anyway.
    
    This way, the only case in which apps that care about NUMA may break is
    on machines with funky NUMA topology. And there is a chance libvirt
    wasn't able to start any guests on those machines anyway (although it
    depends on the topology, total number of CPUs and kernel version).
    Nothing changes at all for apps that don't care about NUMA.
