x86/Kconfig: Select SCHED_SMT if SMP enabled CONFIG_SCHED_SMT is enabled by all distros, so there is not a real point to have it configurable. The runtime overhead in the core scheduler code is minimal because the actual SMT scheduling parts are conditional on a static key. This allows to expose the scheduler's SMT state static key to the speculation control code. Alternatively the scheduler's static key could be made always available when CONFIG_SMP is enabled, but that's just adding an unused static key to every other architecture for nothing.
