x86/apic, doc: Justification for disabling IO APIC before Local APIC

Since erratum AVR31 in "Intel Atom Processor C2000 Product Family
Specification Update" is now published, I added a justification
comment for disabling IO APIC before Local APIC, as changed in commit:

522e6646 x86/apic: Disable I/O APIC before shutdown of the local APIC
