Subject: [PATCH 3/6] x86-mce: Clear CMCI enable on all claimed CMCI banks before reboot.

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

The existing CMCI code did not call cmci_clear() on each CPU upon
reboot. This meant that a kexec would leave all the CMCI banks
unclaimable and with polling disabled as the cmci_discover() method
relies on the CMCI enable bit for each bank to determine if they can be
claimed.
