x86: Fix bogus warning in apic_noop.apic_write()

apic_noop is used to provide dummy apic functions. It's installed
when the CPU has no APIC or when the APIC is disabled on the kernel
command line.

The apic_noop implementation of apic_write() warns when the CPU has
an APIC or when the APIC is not disabled.

That's bogus. The warning should only happen when the CPU has an
APIC _AND_ the APIC is not disabled. apic_noop.apic_read() has the
correct check.
