---Steps to Reproduce---
When passed a negative number to 'maxcpus' parameter, Qemu aborts
with a core dump.
Run the following command with maxcpus argument as negative number
ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 --nographic -vga none -machine
pseries,accel=kvm,kvm-type=HV -m size=200g -device virtio-blk-pci,

v1 -> v2:
- Fix the error check in vl.c to make it generic.
v2 -> v3:
- Fix coding style pointed out by patchew.
- Fix check for "<= 0" instead of just "< 0".
v3 -> v4:
- Fix subject line.
- Removed space before ":" from vl.c:1248
- Removed Reviewed-by: flag
v4-> v5:
- Code rework to declare max_cpus as unsigned int in sysemu.h
- Remove the error check in vl.c referred in v2.
- declare max_cpus as unsigned int in vl.c
