[PATCH] intel_cacheinfo: remove MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit

Initial internal version of Venki's cpuid(4) deterministic cache parameter
identification patch used static arrays of size MAX_CACHE_LEAVES.  Final patch
which made to the base used dynamic array allocation, with this
MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit hunk still in place.

cpuid(4) already has a mechanism to find out the number of cache levels
implemented and there is no need for this hardcoded MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit.

So remove the MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit from the routine which calculates the
number of cache levels using cpuid(4)
