x86, apic: Don't use logical-flat mode when CPU hotplug may exceed 8 CPUs

We need to fall back from logical-flat APIC mode to physical-flat mode
when we have more than 8 CPUs.  However, in the presence of CPU
hotplug, we have to consider the number of possible CPUs rather than
the number of current CPUs; otherwise we may cross the 8-CPU boundary
when CPUs are added later.
