x86, amd: Initialize variable properly

Commit d518573de63f ("x86, amd: Normalize compute unit IDs on
multi-node processors") introduced compute unit normalization
but causes a compiler warning:

 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c: In function 'amd_detect_cmp':
 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c:268: warning: 'cores_per_cu' may be used uninitialized in this function
 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c:268: note: 'cores_per_cu' was declared here

The compiler is right - initialize it with a proper value.

Also, fix up a comment while at it.
