Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: Replace the redundant macros with an empty stub

The X86_LOCAL_APIC is depended on CONFIG X86_64, that means if
CONFIG_X86_64=y, the X86_LOCAL_APIC must be y too.

So, using

  if defined(CONFIG_X86_64) || defined(CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC)

... is redundant.

Remove the redundant macros and add an empty stub instead. also add some
comments for init_bsp_APIC().
