x86/smpboot: Re-enable init_udelay=0 by default on modern CPUs

Fix a Linux-4.3 corner case performance regression, introduced by commit:

  f1ccd249319e ("x86/smpboot: Fix cpu_init_udelay=10000 corner case boot parameter misbehavior")

which allowed the cmdline  "cpu_init_udelay=" to work with all values,
including the default of 10000.

But in setting the default of 10000, it over-rode the code stat sets
the delay 0 on modern processors.

Also, tidy up use of INT/UINT.
