[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 024/219] x86/mce: Handle broadcasted MCE gracefully with kexec

[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 024/219] x86/mce: Handle broadcasted MCE gracefully with kexec

[Sasha Levin]

From: Xunlei Pang <xlpang@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 5bc329503e8191c91c4c40836f062ef771d8ba83 ]

When we are about to kexec a crash kernel and right then and there a
broadcasted MCE fires while we're still in the first kernel and while
the other CPUs remain in a holding pattern, the #MC handler of the
first kernel will timeout and then panic due to never completing MCE
synchronization.

Handle this in a similar way as to when the CPUs are offlined when that
broadcasted MCE happens.

[ Boris: rewrote commit message and comments. ]
