x86: Set cpu_llc_id on AMD CPUs



This counts when building sched domains in case NUMA information
is not available.

( See cpu_coregroup_mask() which uses llc_shared_map which in turn is
  created based on cpu_llc_id. )

Currently Linux builds domains as follows:
(example from a dual socket quad-core system)

 CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
  domain 0: span 0-7 level CPU
   groups: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  ...

 CPU7 attaching sched-domain:
  domain 0: span 0-7 level CPU
   groups: 7 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Ever since that is borked for multi-core AMD CPU systems.
This patch fixes that and now we get a proper:

 CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
  domain 0: span 0-3 level MC
   groups: 0 1 2 3
   domain 1: span 0-7 level CPU
    groups: 0-3 4-7

  ...

 CPU7 attaching sched-domain:
  domain 0: span 4-7 level MC
   groups: 7 4 5 6
   domain 1: span 0-7 level CPU
    groups: 4-7 0-3

This allows scheduler to assign tasks to cores on different sockets
(i.e. that don't share last level cache) for performance reasons.
