[Utopic][SRU][PATCH] powerpc/powernv: Ignore smt-enabled on Power8 and later

[Chris J Arges]

From: Greg Kurz <gkurz at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402141

Starting with POWER8, the subcore logic relies on all threads of a core
being booted so that they can participate in split mode switches. So on
those machines we ignore the smt_enabled_at_boot setting (smt-enabled on
the kernel command line).
