      x86/cpu/AMD: Fix cpu_llc_id for AMD Fam17h systems · f8c74cf9

      commit b0b6e868 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.
