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 such as Meteor Lake, where each CPU has a distinct num_leaves value. Delete the global "num_cache_leaves" and initialize num_leaves on each CPU. init_cache_level() no longer needs to set num_leaves. Also, it never had to set num_levels as it is unnecessary in x86. Keep checking for zero cache leaves. Such condition indicates a bug.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
