[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 2/3] kni: fix kernel 5.4 build - num_online_cpus

num_online_cpus was redefined [1] to now be a static inline function.
Due to that the check we had to redefine num_online_cpus as needed
triggers as false-positive and breaks like:

/usr/src/dpdk-rte-kni-18.11.2/ethtool/ixgbe/kcompat.h:239:27:
error: ‘smp_num_cpus’ undeclared (first use in this function)
  239 | #define num_online_cpus() smp_num_cpus

That redefine isn't needed for ages, and with >5.4 we can just rely on
it. From the kernel it already is either a working function or defined
as 1UL in case of non SMP.

Not applying to master branch due to kni ethtool being removed in [2]
