target-ppc: Force CPU threads count to be a power of 2
PowerPC kernel expects the number of SMT threads in a core to be a power of 2. Since QEMU doesn't enforce this, it leads to an early guest kernel crash if invalid threads count is specified. Prevent this crash and make it a graceful exit from QEMU itself by validating the user-supplied threads count.
