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.
