Introduce a command line parameter "maxcpus" on Arm to allow adjusting
the number of CPUs to activate. Currently the limit is defined by the
config option CONFIG_NR_CPUS. Such parameter already exists on x86.
Define a parameter "maxcpus" and a corresponding static variable
max_cpus in Arm smpboot.c. Modify function smp_get_max_cpus to take
max_cpus as a limit and to return proper unsigned int instead of int.
Take the opportunity to remove redundant variable cpus from start_xen
function and to directly assign the return value from smp_get_max_cpus
to nr_cpu_ids (global variable in Xen used to store the number of CPUs
actually activated).
