The "sibling cores" actually shows the sibling CPUs of a socket.
The name "sibling cores" is very misleading.

Rename "sibling cores" to "sibling sockets"

by checking on die topology, I found that thread_siblings_list
is deprecated/renamed to core_cpus_list.. we should keep that
in mind and support both


Sure, I will introduce THRD_SIB_FMT_NEW for the new name.
#define THRD_SIB_FMT_NEW \
"%s/devices/system/cpu/cpu%d/topology/core_cpus_list"

I will check new name first, (if N/A, then check the old name), before parsing the topology information.

I will add the change in V2.

Thanks,
Kan
