[PATCH v2 8/9] powerpc: Add HOTPLUG_SMT support

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

Add support for HOTPLUG_SMT, which enables the generic sysfs SMT support
files in /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt, as well as the "nosmt" boot
parameter.

Implement the recently added hooks to allow partial SMT states, allow
any number of threads per core.

Tie the config symbol to HOTPLUG_CPU, which enables it on the major
platforms that support SMT. If there are other platforms that want the
SMT support that can be tweaked in future.
