set_desc_affinity() is already checking if the incoming cpu mask
intersects with the cpu online mask or not. So there is no need
for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again
and return BAD_APICID.

Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID
to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return
logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent
bad physical apic id).
