make clang-analyzer on x86_64 defconfig caught my attention with:

  drivers/char/agp/amd64-agp.c:336:2: warning: \
  Value stored to 'i' is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]
          i = 0;
          ^

Remove this unneeded initialization to make clang-analyzer happy.

Commit a32073bffc65 ("x86_64: Clean and enhance up K8 northbridge access
code") refactored cache_nbs() and introduced this unneeded dead-store
initialization.

As compilers will detect this unneeded assignment and optimize this anyway,
the resulting binary is identical before and after this change.

No functional change. No change in binary code.

applies cleanly on current master and next-20201028

David, please pick this minor non-urgent clean-up patch.

Looks ok to me.
