[Patch V0] x86, mce: Don't clear global error reporting banks during cpu_offline

[Ashok Raj]

During CPU offline, or during suspend/resume operations, its not safe to
clear MCi_CTL. These MSR's are either thread scoped (meaning private to
thread), or core scoped (private to threads in that core only), or socket
scope i.e visible and controllable from all threads in the socket.

When we turn off during CPU_OFFLINE, just offlining a single CPU will
stop signaling for all the socket wide resources, such as LLC, iMC for e.g.

It is true for Intel CPU's. But there seems some history that other processors
may require to turn these off during every CPU offline.

Intel Secure Guard eXtentions will be disabled when these controls are cleared
from a security perspective. This patch enables SGX to work across
suspend/resume.

- Consolidated some code to use sharing
- Minor changes to some prototypes to fit usage.
- Left handling same for non-Intel CPU models to avoid any unknown regressions.
