intel-iommu: Fix boot inside 64bit virtualbox with io-apic disabled

Commit 074835f0 ("intel-iommu: Fix
kernel hand if interrupt remapping disabled in BIOS") is adding a check
for interrupt remapping disabled and is dereferencing the dmar_tbl
pointer without checking its value.

Unfortunately, this value is null when booting inside a 64bit virtual
box guest with io-apic disabled, leading to a crash. With a check on it,
the guest is now booting. It's triggering a WARN() in
clockevent_delta2ns but it's better than not booting at all and allows
the user to see there's something wrong on their io-apic setup.
