x86/smpboot: Init apic mapping before usage
The recent changes, which forced the registration of the boot cpu on UP
systems, which do not have ACPI tables, have been fixed for systems w/o
local APIC, but left a wreckage for systems which have neither ACPI nor
mptables, but the CPU has an APIC, e.g. virtualbox.

The boot process crashes in prefill_possible_map() as it wants to register
the boot cpu, which needs to access the local apic, but the local APIC is
not yet mapped.

There is no reason why init_apic_mapping() can't be invoked before
prefill_possible_map(). So instead of playing another silly early mapping
game, as the ACPI/mptables code does, we just move init_apic_mapping()
before the call to prefill_possible_map().

In hindsight, I should have noticed that combination earlier.

Sorry for the churn (also in stable)!
