Legacy kernels prior to commit 4399c03c6780 ("x86/apic: Remove
verify_local_APIC()") write the xAPIC ID of the boot CPU twice to verify
a functioning local APIC. This results in APIC acceleration inhibited
on these kernels for reason APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_APIC_ID_MODIFIED.
Allow the APICV_INHIBIT_REASON_APIC_ID_MODIFIED inhibit reason to be
cleared if/when the xAPIC ID is set back to the expected vcpu_id value.
This occurs on the second xAPIC ID write in verify_local_APIC().
Fixes: 3743c2f02517 ("KVM: x86: inhibit APICv/AVIC on changes to APIC ID or APIC base")
