x86, io-apic: fix nmi_watchdog=1 bootup hang

nmi_watchdog=1 hangs on 64-bit:

[    0.250000] Detected 12.564 MHz APIC timer.
[    0.254178] APIC timer registered as dummy, due to nmi_watchdog=1!
[    0.260366] Testing NMI watchdog ... <4>WARNING: CPU#0: NMI appears to be stuck (0->0)!
[    ...     ]
[    0.470003] calling  genl_init+0x0/0xd0
[  hard hang ]

|     x86: I/O APIC: clean up the 8259A on a NMI watchdog failure

the problem is that in the dummy-lapic branch we rely on the i8259A
but if the NMI watchdog fails we turn off IRQ 0 - which doesnt work
too well ;-)
