In some cases (e.g QEMU, non-Intel/AMD CPU) the cache information can
not be retrieved and the corresponding values are set to 0.

Commit 2d651eb9265d ("x86: Move x86 processor cache info to
cpu_features") changed the behaviour in such case by defining the
__x86_shared_cache_size and __x86_data_cache_size variables to 0 instead
of using the default values. This cause an issue with the i686 SSE2
optimized bzero/routine which assumes that the cache size is at least
128 bytes, and otherwise tries to zero/set the whole address space minus
128 bytes.

Fix that by restoring the original code to only update
__x86_shared_cache_size and __x86_data_cache_size variables if the
corresponding cache sizes are not zero.

Fixes bug 28784
Fixes commit 2d651eb9265d
