The previous NR_CPUS=2 default is not an optimal default for current
Malta setups where it is common to have more than 2 CPUs available. It
makes sense to increase this to a number which covers all common setups
currently in use, such that all of those cores are usable. 8 seems to
fit that description.
If the user has less than 8 CPUs & they wish to have a more optimal
kernel they can simply reduce this in their config. It makes sense for
the default to work on as many systems as possible.

For Malta defconfigs which may run on an SMP configuration without
hardware cache anti-aliasing, a 16KB page size is a safer default.
Most notably at the moment it will avoid cache aliasing issues for
multicore proAptiv systems.

Recent versions of udev and systemd require the kernel
to be compiled with CONFIG_DEVTMPFS in order to populate
the /dev directory. Most MIPS platforms have it enabled by
default, so enable it for Malta configs as well.

This patch simply regenerates the malta defconfigs such that they don't
change after being used & saved as a defconfig again. ie. it is the
result of running the following:
for cfg in arch/mips/configs/malta*; do
ARCH=mips make `basename ${cfg}`
ARCH=mips make savedefconfig
mv -v defconfig ${cfg}
done

This patch accomplishes the following:
* Clean up wording on all MIPS MT configuration menu items.
* Simplify and neaten up options selected by MIPS_MT_SMP.
* Make MIPS_MT_SMTC support as deprecated.
* Make MIPS_CMP support to depend on MIPS_MT_SMP also.
* Remove redundant options selected by MIPS_CMP.

Add in new Malta config files for SMVP, SMTC, and APRP. Also update
the original 'malta_defconfig' config file.
