x86/mce: Enable additional error logging on certain Intel CPUs



The Xeon versions of Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell support an
optional additional error logging mode which is enabled by an MSR.

Previously, this mode was enabled from the mcelog(8) tool via /dev/cpu,
but userspace should not be poking at MSRs. So move the enabling into
the kernel.

 [ bp: Correct the explanation why this is done. ]
