x86/smp: Enforce CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU when SMP=y
The SMT disable 'nosmt' command line argument is not working properly when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled. The teardown of the sibling CPUs which are
required to be brought up due to the MCE issues, cannot work. The CPUs are
then kept in a half dead state.
As the 'nosmt' functionality has become popular due to the speculative
hardware vulnerabilities, the half torn down state is not a proper solution
to the problem.
Enforce CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y when SMP is enabled so the full operation is
possible.
