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.
