powerpc: Linux cannot run with 0 cores

If we configure with CONFIG_SMP=n or set NR_CPUS less than the number of
SMT threads we will set the max cores property to 0 in the
ibm,client-architecture-support structure. On new versions of firmware that
understand this property it obliges and terminates our partition.

Use DIV_ROUND_UP so we handle not only the CONFIG_SMP=n case but also the
case where NR_CPUS isn't a multiple of the number of SMT threads.
