[S390] cpu topology: introduce kernel parameter
Introduce a topology=[on|off] kernel parameter which allows to switch
cpu topology on/off. Default will be off, since it looks like that for
some workloards this doesn't behave very well (on s390).

+ topology= [S390]
+ Format: {off | on}
+ Specify if the kernel should make use of the cpu
+ topology informations if the hardware supports these.
+ The scheduler will make use of these informations and
+ e.g. base its process migration decisions on it.
+ Default is off.
