Subject: [PATCH 2/6] x86-mce: Modify CMCI storm exit to reenable instead of rediscover banks.

From: Ewout van Bekkum <ewout@...gle.com>

The CMCI storm handler previously called cmci_reenable() when exiting a
CMCI storm. However, when entering a CMCI storm the bank ownership was
not relinquished by the affected CPUs. The CMCIs were only disabled via
cmci_storm_disable_banks(). The handler was updated to instead call a
new function, cmci_storm_enable_banks(), to reenable CMCI on the already
owned banks instead of rediscovering CMCI banks (which were still owned
but disabled).
