[PATCH] Update smt_enabled=X handling for cores with more than two threads

[Nathan Fontenot]

This patch updates the handling of the smt-enabled=X boot option to handle
settings on systems with more than two threads per core.  This change involves
moving all of the handling of the boot option to the check_smt_enabled()
routine and the calling of this routine in setup_system() until after the
smp_setup_cpu_maps() call.  This is done so that we can use the
threads_per_core variable when validating the smt boot option specified.
