x86: machine_restart() must not call acpi_dmar_reinstate() twice
.. as that function is not idempotent (it always alters the table
checksum). The (generally) duplicate call was a result from it being
made before machine_restart() re-invoking itself on the boot CPU.
Considering that no problem arose so far from the table corruption I
doubt that we need to restore the correct table signature on the
reboot path in general. The only case I can see this as potentially
necessary is the tboot one, hence do the call just in that case.
