x86/cacheinfo: Validate CPUID leaf 0x2 EDX output

Browse source

commit 8177c6bedb upstream.

CPUID leaf 0x2 emits one-byte descriptors in its four output registers
EAX, EBX, ECX, and EDX.  For these descriptors to be valid, the most
significant bit (MSB) of each register must be clear.

The historical Git commit:

  019361a20f016 ("- pre6: Intel: start to add Pentium IV specific stuff (128-byte cacheline etc)...")

introduced leaf 0x2 output parsing.  It only validated the MSBs of EAX,
EBX, and ECX, but left EDX unchecked.

Validate EDX's most-significant bit.
