x86/apic: Fix signedness bug in APIC ID validity checks



The APIC ID as parsed from ACPI MADT is validity checked with the
apic->apic_id_valid() callback, which depends on the selected APIC type.

For non X2APIC types APIC IDs >= 0xFF are invalid, but values > 0x7FFFFFFF
are detected as valid. This happens because the 'apicid' argument of the
apic_id_valid() callback is type 'int'. So the resulting comparison

   apicid < 0xFF

evaluates to true for all unsigned int values > 0x7FFFFFFF which are handed
to default_apic_id_valid(). As a consequence, invalid APIC IDs in !X2APIC
mode are considered valid and accounted as possible CPUs.

Change the apicid argument type of the apic_id_valid() callback to u32 so
the evaluation is unsigned and returns the correct result.
