[PATCH -tip 1/3] x86, mce: Revert "add mce_threshold option for intel cmci"

Hidetoshi Seto

After having some discussion with Andi Kleen, we have concluded
that setting threshold >1 will not work properly. This patch
reverts the previous patch that introduces mce_threshold option.

However as Ingo pointed out, cmci is a new feature so having boot
controls to disable it is generally a good idea, and it might be
handy if the hw is misbehaving.

So instead of mce_threshold, I will introduce "mce=no_cmci" option
to support cmci disablement in later patch.
Compare with mce_threshold, it lacks threshold >1 support but it
does not matter because it will not work.
