powerpc: pseries, cell: use cpu_thread_in_core in smp_init for of_spin_map

Replace a left over % 2 to be a check for the primary thread and
update the comments.

Note: We assume the secondary threads are not spinning, but they are
actually spinning if we start via kexec.  This means that we call rtas to
spin up the secondary threads. If we get a bad return code from we skip
bringing the cpu online, leaving the thread spinning on the paca.  We don't
handle this case in kexec, and will leave the thread wild during another
kexec.

I added a debug print and manually verified the correct cpumask was
generated on pSeries.  I ran across the identical code in cell by
the grep of System.map.
