soc/intel/common: Fix invalid MADT entries creation
commit f8ac3dda02f22ebf857efb5b845db97f00598f7d ("soc/intel/common: Order the CPUs based on their APIC IDs") sort algorithnm walks all the `cpu_info' entries without discarding empty ones. Since `cpu_info' is not initialized, the data that is used is undefined and it generally results in the creation of invalid `Local x2APIC' entries in the MADT ("APIC") ACPI table. Depending on the X2APIC ID value the Linux kernel behavior changes (cf. arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c::acpi_register_lapic()): 1. If (int)ID >= MAX_LOCAL_APIC (32768), the Linux kernel discards the entry with the "skipped apicid that is too big" INFO level message. 2. If (int)ID < MAX_LOCAL_APIC (32768) (including negative) this data is taken into account and it can lead to undesirable behavior such as core being disabled as (cf. "native_cpu_up: bad cpu" ERROR kernel message). TEST=Verified the MADT does not contain any invalid entries on rex.
