Ah, when I started working on it, I realized that clearing
CPU_TOPOLOGY_LEVEL_INVALID would reduce the readability of the
encode_topo_cpuid1f(). The encoding rules for the 0x1f leaf are somewhat
complex, so I want the topology (and names) in encode_topo_cpuid1f() to
be as consistent with the spec as possible. Therefore, I will keep this
name! :)
