commit 3ddf944b32f88741c303f0b21459dbb3872b8bc5 upstream.
Modifying a MCA bank's MCA_CTL bits which control which error types to
be reported is done over
/sys/devices/system/machinecheck/

...
sysfs nodes by writing the new bit mask of events to enable.
When the write is accepted, the kernel deletes all current timers and
reinits all banks.
Doing that in parallel can lead to initializing a timer which is already
armed and in the timer wheel, i.e., in use already:
ODEBUG: init active (active state 0) object: ffff888063a28000 object
type: timer_list hint: mce_timer_fn+0x0/0x240 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/core.c:2642
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 8120 at lib/debugobjects.c:514
debug_print_object+0x1a0/0x2a0 lib/debugobjects.c:514
Fix that by grabbing the sysfs mutex as the rest of the MCA sysfs code
does.

[ Upstream commit 9f3b130048bfa2e44a8cfb1b616f826d9d5d8188 ]
Memory errors don't happen very often, especially fatal ones. However,
in large-scale scenarios such as data centers, that probability
increases with the amount of machines present.
When a fatal machine check happens, mce_panic() is called based on the
severity grading of that error. The page containing the error is not
marked as poison.
However, when kexec is enabled, tools like makedumpfile understand when
pages are marked as poison and do not touch them so as not to cause
a fatal machine check exception again while dumping the previous
kernel's memory.
Therefore, mark the page containing the error as poisoned so that the
kexec'ed kernel can avoid accessing the page.
