[Qemu-ppc] [PATCHv2 for-2.9] pseries: Enforce homogeneous threads-per-core

[David Gibson]

For reasons that may be useful in future, CPU core objects, as used on the
pseries machine type have their own nr-threads property, potentially
allowing cores with different numbers of threads in the same system.

If the user/management uses the values specified in query-hotpluggable-cpus
as they're expected to do, this will never matter in pratice.  But that's
not actually enforced - it's possible to manually specify a core with
a different number of threads from that in -smp.  That will confuse the
platform - most immediately, this can be used to create a CPU thread with
index above max_cpus which leads to an assertion failure in
spapr_cpu_core_realize().

For now, enforce that all cores must have the same, standard, number of
threads.
