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

We used to assume that even numbered threads were the primary
threads, ie those that would be listed and started as a cpu from
open firmware.  Replace a left over is even (% 2) check with a check
for it being a primary thread and update the comments.

Tested with a debug print on pseries, identical code found for cell.

X-Patchwork-ID: 19578
Resend of July 11 patch, changelog edited.
Patch still applies to next-20081017.

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'm not changing this behavior in this patch).
