fix maxcpus=N parsing

Commit 61ec7567

 ('ACPI: boot correctly
with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"') broke 'maxcpus=' handling on x86[-64].

maxcpus=N is now having no effect on x86_64, and freezing bootup on i386
(because of inconsistency with the separate maxcpus parsing down in
arch/i386, I guess).  That's because early_param parsing is a little
different from __setup parsing, and needs the "=" omitted: then it seems
to work as the original commit intended (no mention of IO-APIC in
/proc/interrupts when maxcpus=0).
