x86, CMCI: Add proper detection of end of CMCI storms

When CMCI storm persists for a long time(at least beyond predefined
threshold. It's 30 seconds for now), we can watch CMCI storm is
detected immediately after it subsides.

...
Dec 10 22:04:29 kernel: CMCI storm detected: switching to poll mode
Dec 10 22:04:59 kernel: CMCI storm subsided: switching to interrupt mode
Dec 10 22:04:59 kernel: CMCI storm detected: switching to poll mode
Dec 10 22:05:29 kernel: CMCI storm subsided: switching to interrupt mode
...

The problem is that our logic that determines that the storm has
ended is incorrect. We announce the end, re-enable interrupts and
realize that the storm is still going on, so we switch back to
polling mode. Rinse, repeat.

When a storm happens we disable signaling of errors via CMCI and begin
polling machine check banks instead. If we find any logged errors,
then we need to set a per-cpu flag so that our per-cpu tests that
check whether the storm is ongoing will see that errors are still
being logged independently of whether mce_notify_irq() says that the
error has been fully processed.

cmci_clear() is not the right tool to disable a bank. It disables the
interrupt for the bank as desired, but it also clears the bit for
this bank in "mce_banks_owned" so we will skip the bank when polling
(so we fail to see that the storm continues because we stop looking).
New cmci_storm_disable_banks() just disables the interrupt while
allowing polling to continue.
