[PATCH 06/10] cpu/SMT: Create topology_smt_thread_allowed()

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe at ellerman.id.au>

A subsequent patch will enable partial SMT states, ie. when not all SMT
threads are brought online.

To support that, add an arch helper which checks whether a given CPU is
allowed to be brought online depending on how many SMT threads are
currently enabled.

Call the helper from cpu_smt_enable(), and cpu_smt_allowed() when SMT is
enabled, to check if the particular thread should be onlined. Notably,
also call it from cpu_smt_disable() if CPU_SMT_ENABLED, to allow
offlining some threads to move from a higher to lower number of threads
online.
