sched/topology: Warn when NUMA diameter > 2

NUMA topologies where the shortest path between some two nodes requires
three or more hops (i.e. diameter > 2) end up being misrepresented in the
scheduler topology structures.

This is currently detected when booting a kernel with CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y
+ sched_debug on the cmdline, although this will only yield a warning about
sched_group spans not matching sched_domain spans:

  ERROR: groups don't span domain->span

Add an explicit warning for that case, triggered regardless of
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG, and decorate it with an appropriate comment.

The topology described in the comment can be booted up on QEMU by appending
the following to your usual QEMU incantation:

    -smp cores=4 \
    -numa node,cpus=0,nodeid=0 -numa node,cpus=1,nodeid=1, \
    -numa node,cpus=2,nodeid=2, -numa node,cpus=3,nodeid=3, \
    -numa dist,src=0,dst=1,val=20, -numa dist,src=0,dst=2,val=30, \
    -numa dist,src=0,dst=3,val=40, -numa dist,src=1,dst=2,val=20, \
    -numa dist,src=1,dst=3,val=30, -numa dist,src=2,dst=3,val=20

A somewhat more realistic topology (6-node mesh) with the same affliction
can be conjured with:

    -smp cores=6 \
    -numa node,cpus=0,nodeid=0 -numa node,cpus=1,nodeid=1, \
    -numa node,cpus=2,nodeid=2, -numa node,cpus=3,nodeid=3, \
    -numa node,cpus=4,nodeid=4, -numa node,cpus=5,nodeid=5, \
    -numa dist,src=0,dst=1,val=20, -numa dist,src=0,dst=2,val=30, \
    -numa dist,src=0,dst=3,val=40, -numa dist,src=0,dst=4,val=30, \
    -numa dist,src=0,dst=5,val=20, \
    -numa dist,src=1,dst=2,val=20, -numa dist,src=1,dst=3,val=30, \
    -numa dist,src=1,dst=4,val=20, -numa dist,src=1,dst=5,val=30, \
    -numa dist,src=2,dst=3,val=20, -numa dist,src=2,dst=4,val=30, \
    -numa dist,src=2,dst=5,val=40, \
    -numa dist,src=3,dst=4,val=20, -numa dist,src=3,dst=5,val=30, \
    -numa dist,src=4,dst=5,val=20
