x86/cpu/AMD: Fix cpu_llc_id for AMD Fam17h systems
commit b0b6e86846093c5f8820386bc01515f857dd8faa upstream. cpu_llc_id (Last Level Cache ID) derivation on AMD Fam17h has an underflow bug when extracting the socket_id value. It starts from 0 so subtracting 1 from it will result in an invalid value. This breaks scheduling topology later on since the cpu_llc_id will be incorrect. For example, the the cpu_llc_id of the *other* CPU in the loops in set_cpu_sibling_map() underflows and we're generating the funniest thread_siblings masks and then when I run 8 threads of nbench, they get spread around the LLC domains in a very strange pattern which doesn't give you the normal scheduling spread one would expect for performance. Other things like EDAC use cpu_llc_id so they will be b0rked too. So, the APIC ID is preset in APICx020 for bits 3 and above: they contain the core complex, node and socket IDs. The LLC is at the core complex level so we can find a unique cpu_llc_id by right shifting the APICID by 3 because then the least significant bit will be the Core Complex ID.
