Subject: [094/140] x86: Do not try to disable hpet if it hasnt been initialized before

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@...citrix.com>

commit ff4878089e1eaeac79d57878ad4ea32910fb4037 upstream.

hpet_disable is called unconditionally on machine reboot if hpet support
is compiled in the kernel.
hpet_disable only checks if the machine is hpet capable but doesn't make
sure that hpet has been initialized.

[ tglx: Made it a one liner and removed the redundant hpet_address check ]
