[RFC PATCH 3/3] powerpc/pseries: Always enable SMP when building pseries

The pseries platform supports Power4 and later CPUs, all of which are
multithreaded and/or multicore.

In practice no one ever builds a SMP=n kernel for these machines. So as
we did for powernv, have the pseries platform imply SMP=y.
