Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce-inject.c: Add mce inject driver exit

From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@...el.com>

Gracefully remove mce_inject driver. This avoids rebooting machine if one wants
to release the driver. It makes the driver more useful for debugging mce issues
or debugging the driver itself. And the mce code is more clean and reasonable.
