Multi TCG mandates the CPU topology to be dimensioned to the actual number of CPUs, depending on the number of chips the user asked for. That is, '-machine num-chips=N' should always have a '-smp' companion with a topology that meats the resulting number of CPUs, typically '-smp sockets=N'.
Simplify the command line for these setups by computing the default number of chips based on the CPU topology, ie. no need to explicitely set "num-chips" anymore. This must be done at machine init because smp_parse() is called after instance init.
