[PATCH v3 5/5] x86/apic: Set up through-local-APIC on boot CPU if 'noapic' specified

[Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com>]

Currently kdump kernel becomes very slow if 'noapic' is specified.
Normal kernel won't.

Kernel parameter 'noapic' is used to disable IO-APIC in system for
testing or special purpose. Here the root cause is that in kdump
kernel LAPIC is disabled since commit 522e664644
("x86/apic: Disable I/O APIC before shutdown of the local APIC").
In this case We need set up through-local-APIC on boot CPU in
setup_local_APIC().

While In normal kernel the legacy irq mode is enabled in BIOS. If
it is virtual wire mode, the local-APIC has been enabled and set as
through-local-APIC.

Though we fix the regression introduced by criminal commit 522e664644,
for safety and clarity, better set up through-local-APIC explicitly,
but not rely on the default boot irq mode.

Do it now.
