SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depends on "NR_CPUS >= 4".  Unfortunately, that
evaluates to true if there is no NR_CPUS configuration option.  This
results in CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS=y for mac_defconfig.  This in turn
causes the m68k "q800" and "virt" machines to crash in qemu if debugging
options are enabled.

Making CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS dependent on the existence of NR_CPUS does
not work since a dependency on the existence of a numeric Kconfig entry
always evaluates to false.  Example:

config HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS
       def_bool y
       depends on !NR_CPUS

After adding this to a Kconfig file, "make defconfig" includes:
$ grep NR_CPUS .config
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64
CONFIG_HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS=y

Defining NR_CPUS for m68k does not help either since many architectures
define NR_CPUS only for SMP configurations.

Make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMP instead to solve the problem.
