[PATCH] x86/mce: Kill drain_mcelog_buffer()

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] x86/mce: Kill drain_mcelog_buffer()

This used to flush out MCEs logged during early boot and which were in
the MCA registers from a previous system run. No need for that now,
since we're moving to a genpool.
