x86,apic: fix DEBUG_PREEMPT gripe when booting with threadirqs=1

If CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_INTR_REMAP are both set, and a box is
booted with threadirqs, the gripe below is emitted. It was suggested
that native_smp_prepare_cpus() shouldn't need to be run with preemption
disabled, and indeed, box boots with no hint of trouble. Remove it.

Would also require a careful review of the code we take out of
preempt protection now - have you done that by any chance? (if not,
mind doing it?)

Thanks,

No, I haven't, I have only empirical evidence of having yet to see any
nastiness with an RT kernel.

I'll crawl through it once I get a couple PCI configuration space
thingies sorted. I'm rather expecting to then find out why
INTR_REMAP/DMAR + X2APIC is disabled.. the head-on collision way.
