Subject: [PATCH] x86/intel_cacheinfo: remove redundant assignment to this_leaf

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The variable this_leaf is being assigned a value that is never
read and it is being updated a little later with a newer value,
hence we can remove the redundant assignment.

Cleans up clang warning: Value stored to 'this_leaf' is never read
