x86/apic: Ensure ICR register write value is handled as 32 bits

The low 32-bit ICR data is prepared by __prepare_ICR(), which returns a 32-bit
value. However, when this value is assigned to a new variable, it's easy to
mistakenly declare that variable with a different width.

To avoid this class of mistakes, use __prepare_ICR() directly as the function
argument instead of storing its result in an intermediate variable. This also
shaves off a bunch of lines in the code.

There should be no functionality change resulting from this.
