Subject: [PATCH 11/13] x86/mce: Rename rcu_dereference_check_mce() to mce_log_get_idx_check()

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

The "rcu_" prefix misleads for it being a proper RCU interface which
is not. It basically checks whether we're preemptible or holding the
chrdev_read mutex.

Rename it accordingly.
