x86/mce: Avoid using object after free in genpool

When we loop over all queued machine check error records to pass them
to the registered notifiers we use llist_for_each_entry(). But the loop
calls gen_pool_free() for the entry in the body of the loop - and then
the iterator looks at node->next after the free.

Use llist_for_each_entry_safe() instead.
