You intention seems to skip the test when AMX is not available. But this
function should only be invoked when AMX is actually available, not as
part of the feature availability check. Therefore, I think this change
is not relevant. Also, if we encounter invalid TILEDATA CPUID, it should
be a reason to *fail* the test, rather than calling out a skip, right?

Thanks,
Chang
