[PATCH 3/9] cpu/SMT: Store the current/max number of threads

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

To support that the SMT code needs to know the maximum number of SMT
threads, and also the currently configured number.

The arch code knows the max number of threads, so have the arch code
pass that value to cpu_smt_check_topology(). Note that although
topology_max_smt_threads() exists, it is not configured early enough to
be used here.
