If CPU support always running local APIC timer, per-cpu hpet timer could be
disabled, which is useless and wasteful in such case. Let's leave the timers
to others.
Impact: should have no impact except reserving less timers.

x86, hpet: Disable per-cpu hpet timer if ARAT is supported

If CPU support always running local APIC timer, per-cpu hpet
timer could be disabled, which is useless and wasteful in such
case. Let's leave the timers to others.

The effect is that we reserve less timers.
