Add support to the /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control interface for
enabling a specified number of SMT threads per core, including partial
SMT states where not all threads are brought online.
The current interface accepts "on" and "off", to enable either 1 or all
SMT threads per core.
This commit allows writing an integer, between 1 and the number of SMT
threads supported by the machine. Writing 1 is a synonym for "off", 2 or
more enables SMT with the specified number of threads.
When reading the file, if all threads are online "on" is returned, to
avoid changing behaviour for existing users. If some other number of
threads is online then the integer value is returned.
Architectures like x86 only supporting 1 thread or all threads, should not
define CONFIG_SMT_NUM_THREADS_DYNAMIC. Architecture supporting partial SMT
states, like PowerPC, should define it.
