Subject: [PATCH v5 4/4] x86/cacheinfo: Clean out init_cache_level()

init_cache_level() no longer has a purpose on x86. It no longer needs to
set num_leaves, and it never had to set num_levels, which was unnecessary
on x86.

Replace it with "return 0" simply to override the weak function, which
would return an error.
