[PATCH v3 2/3] x86/cacheinfo: Delete global num_cache_leaves

Linux remembers cpu_cachinfo::num_leaves per CPU, but x86 initializes all
CPUs from the same global "num_cache_leaves".

This is erroneous on systems like Meteor Lake, which has different
num_leaves per CPU. Delete the global "num_cache_leaves" and initialize
num_leaves accurately on each CPU.

After this change, all CPUs will traverse CPUID leaf 0x4 when booted for
the first time. On systems with symmetric 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.

Changes since v2:
 * None

Changes since v1:
 * Do not make num_cache_leaves a per-CPU variable. Instead, reuse the
   existing per-CPU ci_cpu_cacheinfo variable. (Dave Hansen)
