machine: Uniformly use maxcpus to calculate the omitted parameters

We are currently using maxcpus to calculate the omitted sockets
but using cpus to calculate the omitted cores/threads. This makes
cmdlines like:
  -smp cpus=8,maxcpus=16
  -smp cpus=8,cores=4,maxcpus=16
  -smp cpus=8,threads=2,maxcpus=16
work fine but the ones like:
  -smp cpus=8,sockets=2,maxcpus=16
  -smp cpus=8,sockets=2,cores=4,maxcpus=16
  -smp cpus=8,sockets=2,threads=2,maxcpus=16
break the sanity check.

Since we require for a valid config that the product of "sockets * cores
* threads" should equal to the maxcpus, we should uniformly use maxcpus
to calculate their omitted values.

Also the if-branch of "cpus == 0 || sockets == 0" was split into two
branches of "cpus == 0" and "sockets == 0" so that we can clearly read
that we are parsing the configuration with a preference on cpus over
sockets over cores over threads.

Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines
but improves consistency and allows more incomplete configs to be valid.
