Subject: [PATCH] x86/cacheinfo: Define per-CPU num_cache_leaves

Make num_cache_leaves a per-CPU variable. Otherwise, populate_cache_
leaves() fails on systems with asymmetric number of subleaves in CPUID
leaf 0x4. Intel Meteor Lake is an example of such a system.

After this change, all CPUs will traverse CPUID leaf 0x4 when booted for
the first time. On systems with asymmetric cache topologies this is
useless work.

Creating a list of processor models that have asymmetric cache topologies
was considered. The burden of maintaining such list would outweigh the
performance benefit of skipping this extra step.
