From: Deepak Sharma <deepak.sharma@xxxxxxx> commit a8fb40966f19ff81520d9ccf8f7e2b95201368b8 upstream. All Zen or newer CPU which support C3 shares cache. Its not necessary to flush the caches in software before entering C3. This will cause drop in performance for the cores which share some caches. ARB_DIS is not used with current AMD C state implementation. So set related flags correctly.

Piccoli <gpiccoli@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi folks, this is a very simple optimization that might be read as a fix IMO, since it's setting the flags correctly for the Zen CPUs. It was built/boot tested in the Steam Deck. The backport for stable was a suggestion from Greg [0], so lemme know if any of you see an issue with that, or if we should target other stable versions (or less versions, maybe only 5.15).
