Unfortunately, a whole series:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211208111343.8130-1-bp@xxxxxxxxx

and the 0day bot guys recently managed to trigger another warning there,
which means even more fixes, even to generic code.

So what that warning tells you is that you call into instrumentable
context from non-instrumentable one. But that has relevance only when
someone traces the MCE code - and up until now I haven't received a
single sensible use case for why that would make any sense.

So long story short, you can safely ignore it and if someone complains,
ask her/him about the use case first and CC me.
