hwmon: (k10temp) Blacklist more family 10h processors
The latest version of the Revision Guide for AMD Family 10h Processors
lists two more processor revisions which may be affected by erratum 319.
Change the blacklisting code to correctly detect those processors, by
implementing AMD's recommended algorithm.
