[GIT PULL] L3 CID fix for 3.5

[Borislav Petkov <bp@amd64.org>]

Hi guys,

please pull the following fix for L3 cache index disable into tip. Since
there's no real breakage but simply a correctness issue, it can wait for
3.5. I've also removed the stable tag I had in the previous version.

Thanks.

  x86, intel_cacheinfo: Fix error return code in amd_set_l3_disable_slot() (2012-04-19 18:30:28 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
A small L3 cache index disable fix from Srivatsa Bhat which unifies the
way the code checks for already disabled indices.

    x86, intel_cacheinfo: Fix error return code in amd_set_l3_disable_slot()
    
    If the L3 disable slot is already in use, return -EEXIST instead of
    -EINVAL. The caller, store_cache_disable(), checks this return value to
    print an appropriate warning.
    
    Also, we want to signal with -EEXIST that the current index we're
    disabling has actually been already disabled on the node:
    
    $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_0
    $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_0
    -bash: echo: write error: File exists
    $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cache/index3/cache_disable_1
    -bash: echo: write error: File exists
    $ echo 12 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/cache/index3/cache_disable_1
    -bash: echo: write error: File exists
    
    The old code would say
    
    -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
    
    for disable slot 1 when playing the example above with no output in
    dmesg, which is clearly misleading.
