sched: Don't export sched_mc_power_savings on multi-socket single core system

Fix to prevent sched_mc_power_saving from being exported through sysfs
for multi-scoket single core system. Max cores should be always greater than
one (1). My earlier patch that introduced fix for not exporting
'sched_mc_power_saving' on laptops  broke it on multi-socket single core
system. This fix addresses issue on both laptop and multi-socket single
core system.
Below are the Test results:

1. Single socket - multi-core
       Before Patch: Does not export 'sched_mc_power_saving'
       After Patch: Does not export 'sched_mc_power_saving'
       Result: Pass

2. Multi Socket - single core
      Before Patch: exports 'sched_mc_power_saving'
      After Patch: Does not export 'sched_mc_power_saving'
      Result: Pass

3. Multi Socket - Multi core
      Before Patch: exports 'sched_mc_power_saving'
      After Patch: exports 'sched_mc_power_saving'

[ Impact: make the sched_mc_power_saving control available more consistently ]
