x86/apm32: Remove paravirt_enabled() use

There is already a check for apm_info.bios == 0, the
apm_info.bios is set from the boot_params.apm_bios_info.
Both Xen and lguest, which are also the only ones that set
paravirt_enabled to true, never set the apm_bios.info. The

Xen folks are sure force disable to 0 is not needed because
apm_info lives in .bss, we recently forced disabled this on
lguest, and on the Xen side just to be sure Boris zeroed out
the .bss for PV guests through commit 04b6b4a56884327c1648
("xen/x86: Zero out .bss for PV guests"). With this care taken
into consideration the paravirt_enabled() check is simply not
needed anymore.
