Suresh Siddha ff166cb57a x86: x2apic, IR: remove reinit_intr_remapped_IO_APIC()
When interrupt-remapping is enabled, we are relying on
setup_IO_APIC_irqs() to configure remapped entries in the
IO-APIC, which comes little bit later after enabling
interrupt-remapping.

Meanwhile, restoration of old io-apic entries after enabling
interrupt-remapping will not make the interrupts through
io-apic functional anyway.

So remove the unnecessary reinit_intr_remapped_IO_APIC() step.

The longer story:

When interrupt-remapping is enabled, IO-APIC entries need to be
setup in the re-mappable format (pointing to
interrupt-remapping table entries setup by the OS). This
remapping configuration is happening in the same place where we
traditionally configure IO-APIC (i.e., in
setup_IO_APIC_irqs()).

So when we enable interrupt-remapping successfully, there is no
need to restore old io-apic RTE entries before we actually do a
complete configuration shortly in setup_IO_APIC_irqs(). Old
IO-APIC RTE's may be in traditional format (non re-mappable) or
in re-mappable format pointing to interrupt-remapping table
entries setup by BIOS. Restoring both of these will not make
IO-APIC functional. We have to rely on setup_IO_APIC_irqs() for
proper configuration by OS.

So I am removing this unnecessary and broken step.
