[PATCH v2 16/20] smbios: error out when building type 4 table is not possible

[Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>]

If SMBIOS v2 version is requested but number of cores/threads
are more than it's possible to describe with v2, error out
instead of silently ignoring the fact and filling core/thread
count with bogus values.

This will help caller to decide if it should fallback to
SMBIOSv3 when smbios-entry-point-type='auto'
