Subject: [PATCH] x86/amd: Only fixup cpu_core_id for pre-family17h

Current fixup causes cpu_core_id for family17 w/ downcore configuration
to be incorrect as shown here:

  NODE: 0
  processor  0 core id : 0
  processor  1 core id : 1
  processor  2 core id : 2
  processor  3 core id : 4
  processor  4 core id : 5
  processor  5 core id : 0

  NODE: 1
  processor  6 core id : 2
  processor  7 core id : 3
  processor  8 core id : 4
  processor  9 core id : 0
  processor 10 core id : 1
  processor 11 core id : 2

This could cause issue for code that relies on the cpu_core_id to be unique
(at least within the node).

Although the fixup is not needed, it has been around prior to family17h.
So, only apply the fixup for pre-family17h. The new value for cpu_core_id
for family17h and later will represent the CPUID_Fn8000001E_EBX[CoreId],
which is guaranteed to be unique for each core within a socket. Here are
example of the new cpu_core_id numbering scheme. 

  NODE: 0
  processor  0 core id : 0
  processor  1 core id : 1
  processor  2 core id : 2
  processor  3 core id : 4
  processor  4 core id : 5
  processor  5 core id : 6

  NODE: 1
  processor  6 core id : 8
  processor  7 core id : 9
  processor  8 core id : 10
  processor  9 core id : 12
  processor 10 core id : 13
  processor 11 core id : 14

Note: This patch is reworked based on prior discussion of another
      patch series (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/24/139), which is
      now taking a new approach.
