From: Sajan Karumanchi <sajan.karumanchi@amd.com>

Modifying the shareable cache '__x86_shared_cache_size', which is a
factor in computing the non-temporal threshold parameter
'__x86_shared_non_temporal_threshold' to optimize memcpy for AMD Zen
architectures.
In the existing implementation, the shareable cache is computed as 'L3
per thread, L2 per core'. Recomputing this shareable cache as 'L3 per
CCX(Core-Complex)' has brought in performance gains.
As per the large bench variant results, this patch also addresses the
regression problem on AMD Zen architectures.
