    x86/MCE/AMD: Fix thinko about thresholding_en · 254fe9c7
    Borislav Petkov authored
    So adding thresholding_en et al was a good thing for removing the
    per-CPU thresholding callback, i.e., threshold_cpu_callback.
    
    But, in order for it to work and especially that test in
    mce_threshold_create_device() so that all thresholding banks get
    properly created and not the whole thing to fail with a NULL ptr
    dereference at mce_cpu_pre_down() when we offline the CPUs, we need to
    set the thresholding_en flag *before* we start creating the devices.
    
    Yap, it failed because thresholding_en wasn't set at the time
    we were creating the banks so we didn't create any and then at
    mce_cpu_pre_down() -> mce_threshold_remove_device() time, we would blow
    up.
    
    And the fix is actually easy: we have thresholding on the system when we
    have managed to set the thresholding vector to amd_threshold_interrupt()
    earlier in mce_amd_feature_init() while we were picking apart the
    thresholding banks and what is set and what not.
    
    So let's do that.
