[PATCH] docs/deprecated: Remove undeprecated SMP description

[Zhao Liu]

"Unsupported 'parameter=1' SMP configuration" was proposed to be
deprecated in the commit 54c4ea8f3ae6 ("hw/core/machine-smp: Deprecate
unsupported "parameter=1" SMP configurations").

But the related code was reverted later in the commit 9d7950edb0cd
("hw/core: allow parameter=1 for SMP topology on any machine").

Thus, this SMP behavior is still valid and is not actually deprecated.

Remove outdated document descriptions.
