6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6ef8eb5125722c241fd60d7b0c872d5c2e5dd4ca upstream.
After the rework of "Parallel CPU bringup", the cmdline "nosmp" and
"maxcpus=0" parameters are not working anymore. These parameters set
setup_max_cpus to zero and that's handed to bringup_nonboot_cpus().
The code there does a decrement before checking for zero, which brings it
into the negative space and brings up all CPUs.
Add a zero check at the beginning of the function to prevent this.
