cpu: Fix broken cmdline "nosmp" and "maxcpus=0"

After the rework of "Parallel CPU bringup", the cmdline "nosmp" and
"maxcpus=0" parameters are not working anymore. These parameters set
setup_max_cpus to zero and that's handed to bringup_nonboot_cpus().

The code there does a decrement before checking for zero, which brings it
into the negative space and brings up all CPUs.

Add a zero check at the beginning of the function to prevent this.
