arch/x86: SMBIOS: Improve core count reporting
Current code uses CPUID leaf 0x1, EBX bits 16:23 to determine number for
"core count". However, it turns out this number has little to do with
real number of cores. According to SDM vol 2A, it stays for "maximum
number of addressable IDs for logical processors in this physical
package". This does not seem to take into account fusing of giving
processor.
The new code determines 'core count' by dividing thread-level cpus by
reported logical cores. This seems to be the only way to arrive
to number of cores as it is reported in official CPU datasheet.
TEST=tested on OCP monolake
