spapr: Set VSMT to smp_threads by default
Support for setting VSMT is available in KVM since linux-4.13. Most distros that support KVM on POWER already have it. It thus seem reasonable enough to have the default machine to set VSMT to smp_threads. This brings contiguous VCPU ids and thus brings their upper bound down to the machine's max_cpus. This is especially useful for XIVE KVM devices, which may thus allocate only one VP descriptor per VCPU.
