Subject: [PATCH] Revert "x86/acpi/boot: Do not register processors that cannot be onlined for x2APIC"

This reverts commit e2869bd7af608c343988429ceb1c2fe99644a01f. This commit
unfortunately seems to have resulted in one of my machines no longer
booting. Specifically, this machine is a custom build with a MS-7A39/A320M
GAMING PRO motherboard with firmware version v1.10. I'm not entirely sure
of the cause yet, but starting it up with "earlycon=efifb keep_bootcon" has
informed me that the kernel panics like so:

Call Trace:

  </TASK>
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: timer doesn't work through
 interrupt-mapped IO-APIC ]---

My assumption is there's probably something funky with the firmware on the
machine seeing as it's a random gaming motherboard, but that also probably
means there are other boards out there like this that are cold, afraid, and
unable to boot. We could warm their hearts by reverting this, or maybe by
figuring out a proper fix.
