[PATCH 07/10] x86, mce: remove for-loop in mce_log

[Hidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com>]

The new per-CPU buffer allows us to drop this weird code.

Note: This reverts a part of following old commit:

  [PATCH] x86-64: Make lockless machine check record passing a bit more robust.

 "x86, MCE: Fix bugs and issues of MCE log ring buffer")
