if during CPU hotplug master CPU failed to wake up AP
it set percpu x86_cpu_to_apicid to BAD_APICID=0xFFFF for AP.
However following attempt to unplug that CPU will lead to
out of bound write access to __apicid_to_node[] which is
32768 items long on x86_64 kernel.
So drop setting x86_cpu_to_apicid to BAD_APICID in do_boot_cpu()
and allow acpi_processor_remove()->acpi_unmap_lsapic() cleanly
remove CPU.
