x86/mce: Fix CMCI preemption bugs
The following commit: 27f6c573e0f7 ("x86, CMCI: Add proper detection of end of CMCI storms") Added two preemption bugs: - machine_check_poll() does a get_cpu_var() without a matching put_cpu_var(), which causes preemption imbalance and crashes upon bootup. - it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock. To fix these bugs fix the imbalance and change cmci_discover_lock to a regular spinlock.
