This patch is to fix the backport of the upstream patch: cc51e5428ea5 x86/speculation/l1tf: Increase l1tf memory limit for Nehalem+
When this was backported to the 4.9 and 4.14 stable branches the line + c->x86_cache_bits = c->x86_phys_bits; was applied in the wrong place, being added to the identify_cpu_without_cpuid() function instead of the get_cpu_cap() function which it was correctly applied to in the 4.4 backport.
This means that x86_cache_bits is not set correctly resulting in the following warning due to the cache bits being left uninitalised (zero).
