x86/cacheinfo: Separate amd_northbridge from _cpuid4_info_regs

Browse source

'struct _cpuid4_info_regs' is meant to hold the CPUID leaf 0x4
output registers (EAX, EBX, and ECX), as well as derived information
such as the cache node ID and size.

It also contains a reference to amd_northbridge, which is there only to
be "parked" until ci_info_init() can store it in the priv pointer of the
<linux/cacheinfo.h> API.  That priv pointer is then used by AMD-specific
L3 cache_disable_0/1 sysfs attributes.

Decouple amd_northbridge from _cpuid4_info_regs and pass it explicitly
through the functions at x86/cacheinfo.  Doing so clarifies when
amd_northbridge is actually needed (AMD-only code) and when it is
not (Intel-specific code).  It also prepares for moving the AMD-specific
L3 cache_disable_0/1 sysfs code into its own file in next commit.
