x86/topology/amd: Evaluate SMT in CPUID leaf 0x8000001e only on family 0x17 and greater

The new AMD/HYGON topology parser evaluates the SMT information in CPUID leaf
0x8000001e unconditionally while the original code restricted it to CPUs with
family 0x17 and greater.

This breaks family 0x15 CPUs which advertise that leaf and have a non-zero
value in the SMT section. The machine boots, but the scheduler complains loudly
about the mismatch of the core IDs:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/core.c:6482 sched_cpu_starting+0x183/0x250
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/topology.c:2408 build_sched_domains+0x76b/0x12b0

Add the condition back to cure it.

[ bp: Make it actually build because grandpa is not concerned with
trivial stuff. :-P ]

Fixes: f7fb3b2dd92c ("x86/cpu: Provide an AMD/HYGON specific topology parser")
Closes: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/linux/-/issues/56

Hey Thomas, hey Borislav,

it seems like somehow the patch has lost the following two trailers
compared to the list variant[0] while being applied:

Bisected-by: Christian Heusel <[email protected]>
Cc: [email protected]

Did that happen on purpose or did some scripts fail?

Cheers,
Chris

Well, we don't add unknown tags because it was getting unwieldy and
Bisected-by is not really one we do. I can offer

as bisection is important work and it should be documented.

How does that sound?

Thx.

Sounds good! I thought it was a thing because I saw it used in a few
places, i.e. here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=e37617c8e53a1f7fcba6d5e1041f4fd8a2425c27

I'll keep it in mind for future bug reports! :)

Have a nice week,
Chris

Yeah, I'm polling internally whether we should add this new tag. But
Reported-by pretty much does it...
