x86/cacheinfo: Clarify type markers for CPUID leaf 0x2 cache descriptors



CPUID leaf 0x2 output is a stream of one-byte descriptors, each implying
certain details about the CPU's cache and TLB entries.

Two separate tables exist for interpreting these descriptors: one for
TLBs at intel.c and one for caches at cacheinfo.c.  These mapping tables
will be merged in further commits, among other improvements to their
model.

In preparation for this, use more descriptive type names for the leaf
0x2 descriptors associated with cpu caches.  Namely:

	LVL_1_INST	=>	CACHE_L1_INST
	LVL_1_DATA	=>	CACHE_L1_DATA
	LVL_2		=>	CACHE_L2
	LVL_3		=>	CACHE_L3

After the TLB and cache descriptors mapping tables are merged, this will
make it clear that such descriptors correspond to cpu caches.
