[PATCH v2 3/3] x86/apic: Improved the setting of interrupt mode for bsp

If we specify the 'notsc' parameter for the dump-capture kernel,
and then trigger a crash(panic) by using "ALT-SysRq-c" or
"echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger", the dump-capture kernel will
hang in calibrate_delay_converge() and wait for jiffies changes.
serial log as follows:

    tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT
    tsc: Detected 2099.947 MHz processor
    Calibrating delay loop...

The reason for jiffies not changes is there's no timer interrupt
passed to dump-capture kernel.

In fact, once kernel panic occurs, the local APIC is disabled
by lapic_shutdown() in reboot path.
generly speaking, local APIC state can be initialized by BIOS
after Power-Up or Reset, which doesn't apply to kdump case.
so the kernel has to be responsible for initialize the interrupt
mode properly according the latest status of APIC in bootup path.

An MP operating system is booted under either PIC mode or
virtual wire mode. Later, the operating system switches to
symmetric I/O mode as it enters multiprocessor mode.
Two kinds of virtual wire mode are defined in Intel MP spec:
virtual wire mode via local APIC or via I/O APIC.

Now we determine the mode of APIC only through a SMP BIOS(MP table).
That's not enough. It's better to do further check if APIC works
with effective interrupt mode, and then, do some proper setting.
