x86/cpu/cacheinfo: Fix cache_get_priv_group() for Intel processors
The private pointer provided by the cacheinfo code is used to implement
the AMD L3 cache-specific attributes using a pointer to the northbridge
descriptor. It is needed for performing L3-specific operations and for
that we need a couple of PCI devices and other service information, all
contained in the northbridge descriptor.
This results in failure of cacheinfo setup as shown below as
cache_get_priv_group() returns the uninitialised private attributes which
are not valid for Intel processors.

This patch fixes the issue by checking if the L3 cache indices are
populated correctly (AMD-specific) before initializing the private
attributes.
