Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Look in genpool instead of mcelog.entry[] for pending error records

Couple of issues here:
1) MCE_LOG_LEN is only 32 - so we may have more pending records than will
   fit in the buffer on high core count cpus
2) During a panic we may have a lot of duplicate records because multiple
   logical cpus may have seen and logged the same error because some
   banks are shared.

Switch to using the genpool to look for the pending records. Squeeze
out duplicated records.

New solution for an old problem. See
  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1443073720-3940-1-git-send-email-ashok.raj@intel.com
for the previous take where Ashok said "bump MCE_LOG_LEN from 32 to 128" and
Boris replied "switch to the gen_pool".

I think this clears the way to pull all of the /dev/mcelog driver
code out of mce.c and make it just another driver that registers
a notifier on x86_mce_decoder_chain.
