Subject: [PATCH] x86/AMD: Fix cpu_llc_id for AMD Fam17h systems

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.

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.
