x86/apic: Install an empty physflat_init_apic_ldr
As the comment already stated, there is no need for setting up LDR (and DFR) in physflat mode as it remains unused (see SDM, 10.6.2.1). flat_init_apic_ldr only served as a placeholder for a nop operation so far, causing no harm. That will change when running over the Jailhouse hypervisor. Here we must not touch LDR in a way that destroys the mapping originally set up by the Linux root cell. Jailhouse enforces this setting in order to efficiently validate any IPI requests sent by a cell. Avoid a needless clash caused by flat_init_apic_ldr by installing a true nop handler.
