[PATCH] x86_64: make amd quad core 8 socket system not be clustered_box

From: Yinghai Lu

quad core 8 socket system will have apic id lifting.the apic id range could
be [4, 0x23]. or [8, 0x27]. apic_is_clustered_box will think that need to three clusters
and that is large than 2. So it is treated as clustered_box.

and will get

Marking TSC unstable due to TSCs unsynchronized

even the CPUs have X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC set.

this patch offset back the apic before get apic clusterid.

or use dmi to get apic_is_clustered?
