machine: Set the value of cpus to match maxcpus if it's omitted
Currently we directly calculate the omitted cpus based on the given incomplete collection of parameters. This makes some cmdlines like: -smp maxcpus=16 -smp sockets=2,maxcpus=16 -smp sockets=2,dies=2,maxcpus=16 -smp sockets=2,cores=4,maxcpus=16 not work. We should probably set the value of cpus to match maxcpus if it's omitted, which will make above configs start to work. So the calculation logic of cpus/maxcpus after this patch will be: When both maxcpus and cpus are omitted, maxcpus will be calculated from the given parameters and cpus will be set equal to maxcpus. When only one of maxcpus and cpus is given then the omitted one will be set to its counterpart's value. Both maxcpus and cpus may be specified, but maxcpus must be equal to or greater than cpus. Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines but allows more incomplete configs to be valid.
