powerpc: Add HOTPLUG_SMT support
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.
