x86, AMD, cacheinfo: Fix L3 cache index disable checks
We provide two slots to disable cache indices, and have a check to prevent both slots to be used for the same index. If the user disables the same index on different subcaches, both slots will hold the same index, e.g. $ echo 2047 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_0 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_0 2047 $ echo 1050623 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_1 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_1 2047 due to the fact that the check was looking only at index bits [11:0] and was ignoring writes to bits outside that range. The more correct fix is to simply check whether the index is within the bounds of [0..l3->indices]. While at it, cleanup comments and drop now-unused local macros.
