powerpc: kill useless SMT code in prom_hold_cpus

This piece of code is broken for >2 threads, and possibly in some
other subtle ways (such as comparing a value obtained from an
"ibm,ppc-interrupt-server#s" property to a value obtained from a
"reg" property) and doesn't seem to have any useful purpose in the
first place other than a dubious warning in case NR_CPUS is too
small, which probably isn't the right place to do so.
