x86: Don't increase ApicIdCoreSize past 7

Changeset ca2eee92df44 ("x86, hvm: Expose host core/HT topology to HVM
guests") attempted to "fake up" a topology which would induce guest
operating systems to not treat vcpus as sibling hyperthreads.  This
involved actually reporting hyperthreading as available, but giving
vcpus every other ApicId; which in turn led to doubling the ApicIds
per core by bumping the ApicIdCoreSize by one.  In particular, Ryzen
3xxx series processors, and reportedly EPYC "Rome" cpus -- have an
ApicIdCoreSize of 7; the "fake" topology increases this to 8.

Unfortunately, Windows running on modern AMD hardware -- including
Ryzen 3xxx series processors, and reportedly EPYC "Rome" cpus --
doesn't seem to cope with this value being higher than 7.  (Linux
guests have so far continued to cope.)

A "proper" fix is complicated and it's too late to fix it either for
4.13, or to backport to supported branches.  As a short-term fix,
limit this value to 7.

This does mean that a Linux guest, booted on such a system without
this change, and then migrating to a system with this change, with
more than 64 vcpus, would see an apparent topology change.  This is a
low enough risk in practice that enabling this limit unilaterally, to
allow other guests to boot without manual intervention, is worth it.
