alpha: Enable the rpcc clocksource for single processor
Don't depend on SMP, just check the number of processors online. This allows a single distribution kernel to use the clocksource when run on a single processor machine. Do depend on whether or not we're using WTINT. Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net>
