The /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control file shows 'on', and the 'l1tf' vulnerabilities file shows SMT as vulnerable. Fix it by forcing 'cpu_smt_control' to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED in such a case. Unfortunately the detection can only be done after bringing all the CPUs online, so we have to overwrite any previous writes to the variable.
