      x86/MCE/AMD: Fix thinko about thresholding_en · 254fe9c7

      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.
