Ok, here we go, had to make sure we register the notifier only once
(done on the BSP now) since mcheck_init() runs on each CPU.

Subject: [PATCH] mce, edac: use an atomic notifier for MCEs decoding

Add an atomic notifier which ensures proper locking when conveying MCE
info to EDAC for decoding. The actual notifier call overrides a default,
negative priority notifier.

Note: make sure we register the default decoder only once since
mcheck_init() runs on each CPU.
