On Intel microarchitectures that support CMCI but have it disabled (BIOS,
kernel option or CMCI storm code) the kernel will resort to polling for MCEs.
In these microarchitectures the IMC registers are shared by all CPUs in the
same package and despite the fact that the polling is set up in the kernel to
prevent all CPUs to poll at the same time, it's still possible they'll overlap
and report the same MCE multiple times.

This patch fixes this by introducing synchronization during polling only for
the affected microarchitectures.

v4: get rid of unneeded variable on intel_cmci_poll_unlock() and simplify unserialize_mc_bank_access()
v3: add {,un}serialize_mc_bank_access() as intermediate functions as requested by Tony Luck
