x86, mce: Fix RCU lockdep from mce_poll()
Based on the following message:
===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c:1628 invoked
rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
no locks held by mcelog/2350.

This code is simply checking the value of the pointer, and
therefore need not protect any actual dereferences. Replace
rcu_dereference_check_mce() with rcu_dereference_index_check().
