x86/mce: Make the MCE notifier a blocking one

The NFIT MCE handler callback (for handling media errors on NVDIMMs)
takes a mutex to add the location of a memory error to a list. But since
the notifier call chain for machine checks (x86_mce_decoder_chain) is
atomic, we get a lockdep splat like:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:620
  in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4, name: kworker/0:0
  [..]
  Call Trace:
   dump_stack
   ___might_sleep
   __might_sleep
   mutex_lock_nested
   ? __lock_acquire
   nfit_handle_mce
   notifier_call_chain
   atomic_notifier_call_chain
   ? atomic_notifier_call_chain
   mce_gen_pool_process

Convert the notifier to a blocking one which gets to run only in process
context.

Boris: remove the notifier call in atomic context in print_mce(). For
now, let's print the MCE on the atomic path so that we can make sure
they go out and get logged at least.
