Enable the hard limit of cpu count by nr_cpus on arm64.
The code is borrowed from MIPS.

Shouldn't we just avoid marking those CPUs as possible in smp_cpu_setup,
rather than rewriting things later on?

Also, can you explain exactly what functionality is missing at the moment,
please? I assume it's the nr_cpus= option not working correctly?
