Unfortunately, this new check doesn't work. Here's the output I get:
[ 0.721384] smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
[ 0.725359] smpboot: x86: Booting SMP configuration:

Evidently num_online_cpus() isn't updated until after all the primary
siblings get started.
When booting with cpuhp.parallel=0, the output is good.
