Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] x86/acpi: Improve code readablity of early madt processing

Current processing logic is confusing.

Return value of early_acpi_parse_madt_lapic_addr_ovr() indicates error(< 0),
parsed entry number(>= 0). So, it makes no sense to initialize acpi_lapic &
smp_found_config seeing no override entry, instead, initialize them seeing
MADT.

Put register_lapic_address() into override entry processing doesn't make
sense either.

Improved all the related comments too.
