[PATCH] irqchip: gic: ignore empty processor target registers

[Stefan Agner]

On initialization time, the GIC driver reads the processor target
register (ICDIPTR) to determine the CPU's mask. On uniprocessor
systems with GIC controller (e.g. Cortex-A5 SoC's) this register
is RAZ/WI and hence the mask ends up being zero. This leads to the
somewhat confusing boot message:
[    0.000000] GIC CPU mask not found - kernel will fail to boot.

To avoid the message, print the error only on SMP systems.

I would like to get rid of this critical message in my bootlog, it
sounds somewhat... intimidating...

Actually the driver could also conditionally avoid setting up
GIC_DIST_TARGET, since it's RAZ/WI (write ignored) on uniprocessor
systems. But I'm not sure if is_smp() is really reflecting all
SoC's using GIC which need the Interrupt Processor Targets register
configured.
