Subject: [PATCH 4.19 043/211] x86/apic: Soft disable APIC before initializing it

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 2640da4cccf5cc613bf26f0998b9e340f4b5f69c ]

If the APIC was already enabled on entry of setup_local_APIC() then
disabling it soft via the SPIV register makes a lot of sense.

That masks all LVT entries and brings it into a well defined state.

Otherwise previously enabled LVTs which are not touched in the setup
function stay unmasked and might surprise the just booting kernel.
