Ingo Molnar b417c9fd86 x86: mce: Fix thermal throttling message storm
If a system switches back and forth between hot and cold mode,
the MCE code will print a stream of critical kernel messages.

Extend the throttling code to properly notice this, by
only printing the first hot + cold transition and omitting
the rest up to CHECK_INTERVAL (5 minutes).

This way we'll only get a single incident of:

 [  102.356584] CPU0: Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1)
 [  102.357000] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
 [  102.369223] CPU0: Temperature/speed normal

Every 5 minutes. The 'total events' count tells the number of cold/hot
transitions detected, should overheating occur after 5 minutes again:

[  402.357580] CPU0: Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 24891)
[  402.358001] CPU0: Temperature/speed normal
[  450.704142] Machine check events logged
