Subject: [PATCH] x86/idt: Simplify the idt_setup_apic_and_irq_gates()

The vectors between FIRST_SYSTEM_VECTOR and NR_VECTORS are special IRQ
vectors used by the SMP architecture. But, if X86_LOCAL_APIC=n, it will
not be used, and the FIRST_SYSTEM_VECTOR is equal to NR_VECTORS.

idt_setup_apic_and_irq_gates() didn't notice that, which make the code
a little complex.

Remove the code of the X86_LOCAL_APIC=n case to simplify it.
