Subject: [PATCH -tip] x86,apic - drop redundant bit assignment

cpu_has_apic has already investigated boot_cpu_data
X86_FEATURE_APIC bit for being clear if condition
is triggered. So there is no need to clear this bit
second time.

Please review. Is there some unobvious reason was before
to clear this bit? This snippet already here since long ago.
Perhaps I miss something?
