Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/mce/AMD: Use saved threshold block info in interrupt handler

From: Yazen Ghannam <yazen.ghannam@....com>

In the amd_threshold_interrupt() handler, we loop through every possible
block in each bank and rediscover the block's address and if it's valid,
e.g. valid, counter present and not locked. However, we already have the
address saved in the threshold blocks list for each CPU and bank. The list
only contains blocks that have passed all the valid checks.

Besides the redundancy, there's also a smp_call_function* in
get_block_address() and this causes a warning when servicing the interrupt.

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/smp.c:281 smp_call_function_single+0xdd/0xf0
 ...
 Call Trace:
  <IRQ>
  rdmsr_safe_on_cpu+0x5d/0x90
  get_block_address.isra.2+0x97/0x100
  amd_threshold_interrupt+0xae/0x220
  smp_threshold_interrupt+0x1b/0x40
  threshold_interrupt+0x89/0x90

Drop the redundant valid checks and move the overflow check, logging and
block reset into a separate function.

Check the first block then iterate over the rest. This procedure is needed
since the first block is used as the head of the list.

Link for patch 2:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1495658507-7413-2-git-send-email-Yazen.Ghannam@amd.com

v1->v2:
* Drop patch 2 from the first set.
* Rather than iterating through all blocks in the list, check the first
  and iterate over the rest. This way we don't need to have an external
  list_head.
