[PATCH v6 6/9] KVM: x86: lapic: don't allow to change APIC ID unconditionally

From: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@redhat.com>

No normal guest has any reason to change physical APIC IDs, and
allowing this introduces bugs into APIC acceleration code.

And Intel recent hardware just ignores writes to APIC_ID in
xAPIC mode. More background can be found at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Yfw5ddGNOnDqxMLs@google.com/

Looks there is no much value to support writable xAPIC ID in
guest except supporting some old and crazy use cases which
probably would fail on real hardware. So, make xAPIC ID
read-only for KVM guests.
