Well, I got a bit different, and of course totally untested possible
solution:

cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() does check sib_cpu_ci->info_list before
setting cpumask bits while cache_shared_cpu_map_remove() doesn't. Ballancing
this out would mean:

---
diff --git a/drivers/base/cacheinfo.c b/drivers/base/cacheinfo.c
index 764280a91776..8a4546dc25e3 100644
--- a/drivers/base/cacheinfo.c
+++ b/drivers/base/cacheinfo.c
@@ -148,7 +148,11 @@ static void cache_shared_cpu_map_remove(unsigned int cpu)
 
 			if (sibling == cpu) /* skip itself */
 				continue;
+
 			sib_cpu_ci = get_cpu_cacheinfo(sibling);
+			if (!sib_cpu_ci->info_list)
+				continue;
+
 			sib_leaf = sib_cpu_ci->info_list + index;
 			cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, &sib_leaf->shared_cpu_map);
 			cpumask_clear_cpu(sibling, &this_leaf->shared_cpu_map);
---

Now Philip can have some more fun testing :-)
