padata: downgrade padata_do_multithreaded to serial execution for non-SMP

hugetlb parallelization depends on PADATA, and PADATA depends on SMP.

PADATA consists of two distinct functionality: One part is
padata_do_multithreaded which disregards order and simply divides tasks
into several groups for parallel execution.  Hugetlb init parallelization
depends on padata_do_multithreaded.

The other part is composed of a set of APIs that, while handling data in
an out-of-order parallel manner, can eventually return the data with
ordered sequence.  Currently Only `crypto/pcrypt.c` use them.

All users of PADATA of non-SMP case currently only use
padata_do_multithreaded.  It is easy to implement a serial one in
include/linux/padata.h.  And it is not necessary to implement another
functionality unless the only user of crypto/pcrypt.c does not depend on
SMP in the future.
