x86, AMD: Fix ARAT feature setting again

commit 14fb57dccb6e1defe9f89a66f548fcb24c374c1d upstream.

Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions
uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with
the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn
and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so
don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original
functionality the kernel had wrt to that.
