machine_check_poll() will scan all banks, so I think we can move it out
of the loop body.

From: Chen Yucong

machine_check_poll() will reset IA32_MCi_STATUS register to zero.
So we need to save the content of IA32_MCi_STATUS MSRs before
calling machine_check_poll() for logging threshold interrupt event.

mce_setup() does not gather the content of IA32_MCG_STATUS, so it
should be read explicitly. And we also need to save MSR_IA32_MCx_ADDR
if MCI_STATUS_ADDRV bit field is valid.
