Background
RestricEvents.kext counts cores by tracing x86_pkgs structure, but macOS doesn't seem to use x86_pkgs when setting the processor name in About This Mac. macOS may read other information like cpuid_info().
It's not normally a problem as each method returns the same core count, but it's a problem if x86_pkgs has been modified, for example my CpuTopologyRebuild.kext.

Changes
This commit changes the logic to use
cpuid_info()->core_count
for getting core count. The original logic using the x86_pkgs seems to be written for AMD environment, and I don't know how this fix affects it, so I don't removed the logic and left it for AMD.Samples
