Subject: MIPS: paravirt: Fix undefined reference to smp_bootstrap

From: Matt Redfearn <[email protected]>

commit 951c39cd3bc0aedf67fbd8fb4b9380287e6205d1 upstream.

If the paravirt machine is compiles without CONFIG_SMP, the following linker error occurs

arch/mips/kernel/head.o: In function `kernel_entry':
(.ref.text+0x10): undefined reference to `smp_bootstrap'

due to the kernel entry macro always including SMP startup code. Wrap this code in CONFIG_SMP to fix the error.
