Honestly I won't even bother with this - avic_handle_apic_id_update
zeros the initial apic id entry, after it moves it contents to new location.

If it is called again (and it will be called next time there is avic inhibition),
it will just fail as the initial entry will be zero, or copy wrong entry
if something else was written there meanwhile.

That code just needs to be removed, and AVIC be conditional on read-only apic id.

But overall this patch doesn't make things worse, so
