x86/apic: Only disable CPU x2apic mode when necessary

When interrupt remapping hardware is not in X2APIC, CPU X2APIC mode
will be disabled if:
1) Maximum CPU APIC ID is bigger than 255
2) hypervisior doesn't support x2apic mode.

But we should only check whether hypervisor supports X2APIC mode when
hypervisor(CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST) is enabled, otherwise X2APIC will
always be disabled when CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST is disabled and IR
doesn't work in X2APIC mode.
