x86/hotplug: Silence APIC only after all interrupts are migrated

commit 52d6b926aabc47643cd910c85edb262b7f44c168 upstream.

There is a race when taking a CPU offline. Current code looks like this:

native_cpu_disable()
{
	...
	apic_soft_disable();
	/*
	 * Any existing set bits for pending interrupt to
	 * this CPU are preserved and will be sent via IPI
	 * to another CPU by fixup_irqs().
	 */
	cpu_disable_common();
	{
		....
		/*
		 * Race window happens here. Once local APIC has been
		 * disabled any new interrupts from the device to
		 * the old CPU are lost
		 */
		fixup_irqs(); // Too late to capture anything in IRR.
		...
	}
}

The fix is to disable the APIC *after* cpu_disable_common().

Testing was done with a USB NIC that provided a source of frequent
interrupts. A script migrated interrupts to a specific CPU and
then took that CPU offline.
