smp: Use nr_cpus= to set nr_cpu_ids early
On x86, before prefill_possible_map(), nr_cpu_ids will be NR_CPUS aka CONFIG_NR_CPUS. Add nr_cpus= to set nr_cpu_ids. so we can simulate cpus <=8 are installed on normal config. -v2: accordging to Christoph, acpi_numa_init should use nr_cpu_ids in stead of NR_CPUS. -v3: add doc in kernel-parameters.txt according to Andrew.
