[PATCH] spapr: Fix VSMT mode when it is not supported by the kernel

[Laurent Vivier]

Commit 29cb4187497d sets by default the VSMT to smp_threads,
but older kernels (< 4.13) don't support that.

We can reasonably restore previous behavior with this kernel
to allow to run QEMU as before.

If VSMT is not supported, VSMT will be set to MAX(8, smp_threads)
as it is done for previous machine types (< pseries-4.2)

Fixes: 29cb4187497d ("spapr: Set VSMT to smp_threads by default")
