Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/smp: Fix OOPS in topology_init()

Running an SMP kernel on an UP platform not prepared for it,
I encountered the following OOPS:

	BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference on read at 0x00000034
	Faulting instruction address: 0xc0a04110

Fix it by checking smp_ops before using it, as already done in
several other places in the arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c
