x86/mce: Handle broadcasted MCE gracefully with kexec
When we are about to kexec a crash kernel and right then and there a broadcasted MCE fires while we're still in the first kernel and while the other CPUs remain in a holding pattern, the #MC handler of the first kernel will timeout and then panic due to never completing MCE synchronization. Handle this in a similar way as to when the CPUs are offlined when that broadcasted MCE happens.
