Impact: cleanup

Currently we have NR_CPUS, which is 1 on UP, and CONFIG_NR_CPUS on
SMP.  If we make CONFIG_NR_CPUS always valid (and always 1 on !SMP),
we can skip the middleman.

This also allows us to find and check all the remaining NR_CPUS users.

To avoid breaking every arch, we cheat and do this for the moment
in the header if the arch doesn't.
