[PATCH 4.8 105/140] x86/boot/smp: Dont try to poke disabled/non-existent APIC

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>

commit ff8560512b8d4b7ca3ef4fd69166634ac30b2525 upstream.

Apparently trying to poke a disabled or non-existent APIC
leads to a box that doesn't even boot. Let's not do that.

No real clue if this is the right fix, but at least my
P3 machine boots again.
