docs: Update nosmt support for arm64

Browse Source 
commit eed4583bcf ("arm64: Kconfig: Enable HOTPLUG_SMT") enable
HOTPLUG_SMT for SMT control for arm64, but the documentation was
not updated accordingly to reflect that ARM64 now supports control SMT
via boot parameter and sysfs knobs:

1. Boot parameters:

nosmt:          Disable SMT, can be enabled via sysfs knobs.
nosmt=force:    Disable SMT, cannot be enabled via sysfs knobs.

2. Runtime sysfs controls:

Write "on", "off", "forceoff" or the number of SMT threads (1, 2, ...)
to /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control.
