BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2097455

On some systems, the same CPU (with the same APIC ID) is assigned a
different logical CPU id after commit ec9aedb2aa1a ("x86/acpi: Ignore
invalid x2APIC entries").

This means that Linux enumerates the CPUs in a different order, which
violates ACPI specification[1] that states:

  "OSPM should initialize processors in the order that they appear in
   the MADT"

The problematic commit parses all LAPIC entries before any x2APIC
entries, aiming to ignore x2APIC entries with APIC ID < 255 when valid
LAPIC entries exist. However, it disrupts the CPU enumeration order on
systems where x2APIC entries precede LAPIC entries in the MADT.

Fix this problem by:

 1) Parsing LAPIC entries first without registering them in the
    topology to evaluate whether valid LAPIC entries exist.

 2) Restoring the MADT in order parser which invokes either the LAPIC
    or the X2APIC parser function depending on the entry type.

The X2APIC parser still ignores entries < 0xff in case that #1 found
valid LAPIC entries independent of their position in the MADT table.

(cherry picked from commit 0141978ae75bd48bac13fca6de131a5071c32011)
