Subject: [PATCH 5/6] x86/mce: Provide an option to keep cmci_reenable() quiet

cmci_reenable() calls cmci_discover() to look at which machine check
banks are shared between processors. It ensure that only one cpu takes
ownership of each shared bank. At boot time cmci_discover() is muted,
but during hot add events it provides some output which may be helpful
to ensure that all banks have an owner.

We want to use cmci_reenable() when a CMCI storm subsides. In this case
the topology has not changed, so we do not need any commentary as it
goes about its business.

Add a "quiet" argument to cmci_reenable() that it passes to cmci_discover().

[Patches 1-4 remain as previously posted. This is a new patch to
 help tidy console messages. Old patch 5 becomes patch 6 (and has
 a few cleanups]
