[PATCH 4.9 20/21] x86/mce: Make the MCE notifier a blocking one

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com>

commit 0dc9c639e6553e39c13b2c0d54c8a1b098cb95e2 upstream.

The NFIT MCE handler callback (for handling media errors on NVDIMMs)
takes a mutex to add the location of a memory error to a list. But since
the notifier call chain for machine checks (x86_mce_decoder_chain) is
atomic, we get a lockdep splat like:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:620
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4, name: kworker/0:0
  [..]
  Call Trace:
   dump_stack
   ___might_sleep
   __might_sleep
   mutex_lock_nested
   ? __lock_acquire
   nfit_handle_mce
   notifier_call_chain
   atomic_notifier_call_chain
   ? atomic_notifier_call_chain
   mce_gen_pool_process

Convert the notifier to a blocking one which gets to run only in process
context.

Boris: remove the notifier call in atomic context in print_mce(). For
now, let's print the MCE on the atomic path so that we can make sure
they go out and get logged at least.

Fixes: 6839a6d96f4e ("nfit: do an ARS scrub on hitting a latent media error")
