x86/mce: Prevent duplicate error records

A legitimate use case of the MCA infrastructure is to have the firmware
log all uncorrectable errors and also, have the OS see all correctable
errors.

The uncorrectable, UCNA errors are usually configured to be reported
through an SMI. CMCI, which is the correctable error reporting
interrupt, uses SMI too and having both enabled, leads to unnecessary
overhead.

So what ends up happening is, people disable CMCI in the wild and leave
on only the UCNA SMI.

When CMCI is disabled, the MCA infrastructure resorts to polling the MCA
banks. If a MCA MSR is shared between the logical threads, one error
ends up getting logged multiple times as the polling runs on every
logical thread.

Therefore, introduce locking on the Intel side of the polling routine to
prevent such duplicate error records from appearing.

Based on a patch by Aristeu Rozanski <aris@ruivo.org>.
