Subject: [PATCH 1/6] x86/mce: Don't print MCEs when mcelog is active

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

Since

  cd9c57cad3fe ("x86/MCE: Dump MCE to dmesg if no consumers")

all MCEs are printed even when mcelog is running. Fix the regression to
not print to dmesg when mcelog is running as it is a consumer too.
