Currently we do a read, a dummy write and a final read to fetch
the error code. The value from the final read is taken.
This is not the recommended way and leads to corrupted/lost ESR
values.

Intel(c) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual,
Combined Volumes 1, 2ABC, 3ABC, Section 10.5.3 states:

  Before attempt to read from the ESR, software should first
  write to it. (The value written does not affect the values read
  subsequently; only zero may be written in x2APIC mode.) This
  write clears any previously logged errors and updates the ESR
  with any errors detected since the last write to the ESR.
  This write also rearms the APIC error interrupt triggering
  mechanism.

This patch removes the first read such that we are conform with
the manual.

On my (very old) Pentium MMX SMP system this patch fixes the
issue that APIC errors:

  a) are not always reported and
  b) are reported with false error numbers.
