x86/amd: Eliminate cache flushing when entering C3 on select AMD processors

AMD Fam15h processors have a shared cache. It does not need=20
to be be flushed when entering C3 and doing so causes reduces
performance. Modify acpi_processor_power_init_bm_check to
prevent these processors from flushing when entering C3.
