5541c93cdf x86/mce: Look in genpool instead of mcelog for pending error records
A couple of issues here:

1) MCE_LOG_LEN is only 32 - so we may have more pending records than will
   fit in the buffer on high core count CPUs.

2) During a panic we may have a lot of duplicate records because multiple
   logical CPUs may have seen and logged the same error because some
   banks are shared.

Switch to using the genpool to look for the pending records. Squeeze out
duplicated records.

a3125494cf x86/mce: Avoid using object after free in genpool
When we loop over all queued machine check error records to pass them
to the registered notifiers we use llist_for_each_entry(). But the loop
calls gen_pool_free() for the entry in the body of the loop - and then
the iterator looks at node->next after the free.

Use llist_for_each_entry_safe() instead.

Chen, Gong
648ed94038 x86/mce: Provide a lockless memory pool to save error records
printk() is not safe to use in MCE context. Add a lockless
memory allocator pool to save error records in MCE context.
Those records will be issued later, in a printk-safe context.
The idea is inspired by the APEI/GHES driver.

We're very conservative and allocate only two pages for it but
since we're going to use those pages throughout the system's
lifetime, we allocate them statically to avoid early boot time
allocation woes.
