um: Remove broken SMP support
At times where UML used the TT mode to operate it had kind of SMP support. It never got finished nor was stable. Let's rip out that cruft and stop confusing developers which do tree-wide SMP cleanups. If someone wants SMP support UML it has do be done from scratch.

- help
- This option enables UML SMP support.
- It is NOT related to having a real SMP box. Not directly, at least.
-
- UML implements virtual SMP by allowing as many processes to run
- simultaneously on the host as there are virtual processors configured.
-
- Obviously, if the host is a uniprocessor, those processes will
- timeshare, but, inside UML, will appear to be running simultaneously.
- If the host is a multiprocessor, then UML processes may run
- simultaneously, depending on the host scheduler.
-
- This, however, is supported only in TT mode. So, if you use the SKAS
- patch on your host, switching to TT mode and enabling SMP usually
- gives you worse performances.
- Also, since the support for SMP has been under-developed, there could
- be some bugs being exposed by enabling SMP.
-
- If you don't know what to do, say N.
