Add support for HOTPLUG_SMT. With this the s390 specific "nosmt" kernel command line parameter handling is replaced with common code handling. This means that just specifying "nosmt" still enables smt from an architectural point of view, however only the primary (base) cpu can be set online. Enabling smt during runtime via /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control allows to set secondary cpus online. This way "nosmt" works like on other architectures where enabling and disabling smt during runtime is possible. If "nosmt=force" is specified smt is also still enabled from an architectural point of view, but there is no way to set secondary cpus online during runtime, also like on other architectures. In order to disable smt from architectural point of view, which was previously achieved with the s390 specific "nosmt" command line option, "smt=1" can be used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
