x86/apic: Silence "FW_BUG TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata" on CPUs without the feature

When booting 4.13 on a VirtualBox VM on a Skylake host the following
error shows up in the logs:

 [    0.000000] [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata;
                please update microcode to version: 0xb2 (or later)

This is caused by apic_check_deadline_errata() only checking CPU model
and not the X86_FEATURE_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER flag (which VirtualBox does
NOT export to the guest), combined with VirtualBox not exporting the
micro-code version to the guest.

This commit adds a check for X86_FEATURE_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER to
apic_check_deadline_errata(), silencing this error on VirtualBox VMs.
