We provide two slots to disable cache indices, and have a check to
prevent both slots to be used for the same index.
If the user disables the same index on different subcaches, both slots
will hold the same index, e.g.
$ echo 2047 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_0
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_0
2047
$ echo 1050623 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_1
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_1
2047
due to the fact that the check was looking only at index bits [11:0]
and was ignoring writes to bits outside that range. The more correct
fix is to simply check whether the index is within the bounds of
[0..l3->indices].
While at it, cleanup comments and drop now-unused local macros.
