x86, mce: Fix RCU lockdep from mce_poll()

Based on the following message:

  ===================================================
  [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
  ---------------------------------------------------
  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c:1628 invoked
  rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

  other info that might help us debug this:

  rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
  no locks held by mcelog/2350.

  stack backtrace:
  Pid: 2350, comm: mcelog Tainted: G        W   2.6.37-rc1+ #7

This code is simply checking the value of the pointer, and
therefore need not protect any actual dereferences. Replace
rcu_dereference_check_mce() with rcu_dereference_index_check().
