This reverts commit 904464b91eca8c665acea033489225af02eeb75a.

The problem pointed out by commit 904464b91eca ("ARM: 7655/1:
smp_twd: make twd_local_timer_of_register() no-op for nosmp")
doesn't exist anymore.

We can safely boot with nosmp and the warning won't show up.

The other side benefit of this patch is that TWD has a chance
to probe on single-core A9 systems such as AM437x which sport
TWD.

I don't remember all the details from Feb 2013 on why we made that
change.  If this is proven safe, then I guess it's okay.

Do you want me to upload to your patch system and, perhaps, keep in
linux-next for v4.4 merge window ? (too late for v4.3 I guess).
