Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: silence compiler -Wtype-limits warnings

There are many compiler warnings like this,

In file included from ./arch/x86/include/asm/smp.h:13,
                 from ./arch/x86/include/asm/mmzone_64.h:11,
                 from ./arch/x86/include/asm/mmzone.h:5,
                 from ./include/linux/mmzone.h:969,
                 from ./include/linux/gfp.h:6,
                 from ./include/linux/mm.h:10,
                 from arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c:34:
arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c: In function 'check_timer':
./arch/x86/include/asm/apic.h:37:11: warning: comparison of unsigned
expression >= 0 is always true [-Wtype-limits]

           ^~

  ^~~~~~~~~~~
./arch/x86/include/asm/apic.h:37:11: warning: comparison of unsigned

    apic_printk(APIC_QUIET, KERN_ERR "..MP-BIOS bug: "
    ^~~~~~~~~~~

APIC_QUIET is 0, so silence them by making "apic_verbosity" an "int"
which is a simpler fix than adding more checks in apic_printk().
