[PATCH v1] x86/apic: Fix kernel panic when "intremap=off" and "x2apic_phys" are set

From: Dheeraj Kumar Srivastava

x2APIC mode requires "Interrupt Remapping" to be enabled and the
"physical x2apic" driver can be used only when x2APIC mode is enabled.
However when "intremap=off" and "x2apic_phys" kernel command line
parameters are passed, "physical x2apic" driver is being used even when
x2APIC mode is disabled ("intremap=off" disables x2APIC mode).
This results in the below kernel panic:

unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0x80f at rIP: 0xffffffff87eab4ec
(native_read_msr+0xc/0x40)
Call Trace:

</TASK>

This is due to an incorrect conditional check in x2apic_phys_probe().
Fix it here by returning 0 when "x2apic_mode" is not set in
x2apic_phys_probe(). This now prevents default_setup_apic_routing() from
selecting "physical x2apic" driver.
