Ingo Molnar 11868a2dc4 x86: mce: Use safer ways to access MCE registers
Use rdmsrl_safe() when accessing MCE registers. While in
theory we always 'know' which ones are safe to access from
the capability bits, there's a lot of hardware variations
and reality might differ from theory, as it did in this case:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14204

[    0.010016] mce: CPU supports 5 MCE banks
[    0.011029] general protection fault: 0000 [#1]
[    0.011998] last sysfs file:
[    0.011998] Modules linked in:
[    0.011998]
[    0.011998] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted (2.6.31_router #1) HP Vectra
[    0.011998] EIP: 0060:[<c100d9b9>] EFLAGS: 00010246 CPU: 0
[    0.011998] EIP is at mce_rdmsrl+0x19/0x60
[    0.011998] EAX: 00000000 EBX: 00000001 ECX: 00000407 EDX: 08000000
[    0.011998] ESI: 00000000 EDI: 8c000000 EBP: 00000405 ESP: c17d5eac

So WARN_ONCE() instead of crashing the box.

( also fix a number of stylistic inconsistencies in the code. )

Note, we might still crash in wrmsrl() if we get that far, but
we shouldnt if the registers are truly inaccessible.
