Subject: [PATCH 16/27] mn10300: Fix horrible logic in smp_prepare_cpus()

In smp_prepare_cpus(), after max_cpus are booted, instead of breaking
from the loop, the 'continue' statement is used which results in
unnecessarily wasting time by looping NR_CPUS times!

Many things around this could be pulled into generic code in the future, but
for now, fix this particular piece of code locally (because I am unable to
convince myself to ignore it even temporarily, given that it is such a gem!).

And also rewrite the 'if' statement in a more natural way.
