AGESA: Fix bug in AMD_DISABLE_STACK_FAMILY_HOOK_F15

_RDMSR instruction loads the contents of a 64-bit model specific register (MSR)
    specified in the ECX register into registers EDX:EAX.
    The EDX register is loaded with the high-order 32 bits of the MSR
    and the EAX register is loaded with the low-order 32 bits.

EDX:EAX = MSR[ECX]

So bit 49 will be contained in EDX register.

Buggy code instead of bit 49 (CombineCr0Cd) sets bit [49-32=17] (PfcStrideDis).
    PfcStrideDis bit disables stride prefetch generation. This leads to memory
    bandwidth loss.

Supermicro H8QGI board

After applying this change i observed huge memory bandwidth increase in tests
    that runs on small amount of cores. But unfortunately it doesn't affect
    overall bandwidth results on 4P system with 48 cores.
    So i think that in this system leading limiting factor is
    AMD HT-ASSIST feature (Probe filter).

But right now it is not working. System stucks in Linux boot. I have done
    some experiments and figured out that stuck happens when system have cores in
    compute unit (CU) other than CU with BSC (boot strap core).
    CU is two cores (primary and seconary) that shares some things (L2 cache, FPU ...)
    So with probe filter i can boot Linux with one (BSC)
    or two (BSC + secondary core in its CU) cores.
    And with this configuration i can see memory bandwidth on 1 core (or two cores)
    close to original bios.
