x86/MCE: Fix race condition in mctelem_reserve
These lines (in mctelem_reserve)
newhead = oldhead->mcte_next;
if (cmpxchgptr(freelp, oldhead, newhead) == oldhead) {
are racy. After you read the newhead pointer it can happen that another
flow (thread or recursive invocation) change all the list but set head
with same value. So oldhead is the same as *freelp but you are setting
a new head that could point to whatever element (even already used).
This patch use instead a bit array and atomic bit operations.
