[patch] x86, cacheinfo: dereferences before check

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Tue Jun 01 2010 - 03:11:51 EST


This moves a couple dereferences after the checks in
show_cache_disable() and store_cache_disable(). These were introduced
fairly recently in 9350f982e4: "x86, cacheinfo: Reorganize AMD L3 cache
structure"
