x86/mce/therm_throt: Undo thermal polling properly on CPU offline

Chris Wilson reported splats from running the thermal throttling
workqueue callback on offlined CPUs. The problem is that that callback
should not even run on offlined CPUs but it happens nevertheless because
the offlining callback thermal_throttle_offline() does not symmetrically
undo the setup work done in its onlining counterpart. IOW,

 1. The thermal interrupt vector should be masked out before ...

 2. ... cancelling any pending work synchronously so that no new work is
 enqueued anymore.

Do those things and fix the issue properly.
