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.
