Since the amount of prealloc-threads to smp-cpus is
defaulted in hostmem, so sync this information.

The subject is misleading, I'm afraid.  It suggests you're changing the
default.  You don't, you just fix its documentation.

Covering history could be helpful.

Here's my try

    qapi/qom: Memory backend property prealloc-threads doc fix

    Commit ffac16fab3 "hostmem: introduce "prealloc-threads" property"
    (v5.0.0) changed the default number of threads from number of CPUs
    to 1.  This was deemed a regression, and fixed in commit f8d426a685
    "hostmem: default the amount of prealloc-threads to smp-cpus".
    Except the documentation remained unchanged.  Update it now.

... needs to go below the --- line, so it doesn't go into git.

Long line.

"smp-cpus" is not defined.  It's QOM property /machine/smp member @cpus,
commonly set with -M smp.cpus=N (or its sugared form -smp cpus=N).

Suggest

   # @prealloc-threads: number of CPU threads to use for prealloc
   # (default: number of CPUs) (since 5.0)

Many thanks for your patient review, I learned a lot.
I will send v3 to correct it.
