6.6-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.
