[Qemu-ppc] [PATCH] spapr: check smp_threads < vsmt

[Laurent Vivier]

We ignore silently the value of smp_threads when we set
the VSMT value, and if smp_threads is greater than VSMT
kernel is going into trouble later.

Fixes: 8904e5a750
("spapr: Adjust default VSMT value for better migration compatibility")
