Subject: [patch 1/2] x86/cpu/amd: Make the CPUID 0x80000008 parser correct

CPUID 0x80000008 ECX.cpu_nthreads describes the number of threads in the
package. The parser uses this value to initialize the SMT domain level.

That's wrong because cpu_nthreads does not describe the number of threads
per physical core. So this needs to set the CORE domain level and let the
later parsers set the SMT shift if available.

Preset the SMT domain level with the assumption of one thread per core,
which is correct ifrt here are no other CPUID leafs to parse, and propagate
cpu_nthreads and the core level APIC bitwidth into the CORE domain.

Fixes: f7fb3b2dd92c ("x86/cpu: Provide an AMD/HYGON specific topology parser")
