x86/smpboot: Remove APIC.wait_for_init_deassert and atomic init_deasserted
Both the per-APIC flag ".wait_for_init_deassert", and the global atomic_t "init_deasserted" are dead code -- remove them. For all APIC types, "wait_for_master()" prevents an AP from proceeding until the BSP has set cpu_callout_mask, making "init_deasserted" {unnecessary}: BSP: <de-assert INIT> ... BSP: {set init_deasserted} AP: wait_for_master() set cpu_initialized_mask wait for cpu_callout_mask BSP: test cpu_initialized_mask BSP: set cpu_callout_mask AP: test cpu_callout_mask AP: {wait for init_deasserted} ... AP: <touch APIC> Deleting the {dead code} above is necessary to enable some parallelism in a future patch.
