x86/apic/x2apic: Fix a NULL pointer deref when handling a dying cpu

Check that the per-cpu cluster mask pointer has been set prior to
clearing a dying cpu's bit. The per-cpu pointer is not set until the
target cpu reaches smp_callin() during CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU, whereas the
teardown function, x2apic_dead_cpu(), is associated with the earlier
CPUHP_X2APIC_PREPARE. If an error occurs before the cpu is awakened,
e.g. if do_boot_cpu() itself fails, x2apic_dead_cpu() will dereference
the NULL pointer and cause a panic.

smpboot: do_boot_cpu failed(-22) to wakeup CPU#1
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
RIP: 0010:x2apic_dead_cpu+0x1a/0x30
