We don't need to drop the cpu-index argument,
the upstream tools(libvirt etc.) can just issue "inject-nmi"
command without any argument when need.

Reasons to keep this argument
1) Useful for kernel developer or debuger sending NMI to a special CPU.
2) Share the code with nmi of hmp version. Share the way how to
   use these two commands.(hmp version and qmp version)
