Cache Layout wrong on many Zen Arch CPUs
Description of problem:
This is `coreinfo -l` when running Windows as host:

![image](/uploads/b4217fd80071c95e20e7d729e0fd19fa/image.png)

This is `coreinfo -l` when running the same Windows as guest with 6 cores and 6 threads (half of each):

Steps to reproduce:
1. You need a AMD Ryzen 3900X. It has an L3 cache over 3 cores
2. Use `-cpu host,+topoext,host-cache-info=on`
3. Use `coreinfo -l` to see how the L3 cache is distributed
Additional information:
1. When running without `host-cache-info=on` then the L3 cache is spread on all the cpus.
2. `lscpu -e`:
