The following commit:

  27f6c573e0f7 ("x86, CMCI: Add proper detection of end of CMCI storms")

Added two preemption bugs:

 - machine_check_poll() does a get_cpu_var() without a matching
   put_cpu_var(), which causes preemption imbalance and crashes upon
   bootup.

 - it does percpu ops without disabling preemption. Preemption is not
   disabled due to the mistaken use of a raw spinlock.

To fix these bugs fix the imbalance and change
cmci_discover_lock to a regular spinlock.
