x86/mce: Delay clearing IA32_MCG_STATUS to the end of do_machine_check()

A long time ago, Linux cleared IA32_MCG_STATUS at the very end of machine
check processing.

Then, some fancy recovery and IST manipulation was added in:

d4812e169de4 ("x86, mce: Get rid of TIF_MCE_NOTIFY and associated mce tricks")

and clearing IA32_MCG_STATUS was pulled earlier in the function.

Next change moved the actual recovery out of do_machine_check() and
just used task_work_add() to schedule it later (before returning to the
user):

5567d11c21a1 ("x86/mce: Send #MC singal from task work")

Most recently the fancy IST footwork was removed as no longer needed:

b052df3da821 ("x86/entry: Get rid of ist_begin/end_non_atomic()")

At this point there is no reason remaining to clear IA32_MCG_STATUS early.
It can move back to the very end of the function.

Also move sync_core(). The comments for this function say that it should
only be called when instructions have been changed/re-mapped. Recovery
for an instruction fetch may change the physical address. But that
doesn't happen until the scheduled work runs (which could be on another
CPU).
