If a driver leaves its poll method NULL, the device is assumed to
be both readable and writable without blocking.
This patch add .poll method to xen mcelog device driver, so that
when mcelog use system calls like ppoll or select, it would be
blocked when no data available, and avoid spinning at CPU.

copy_to_user might sleep and print a stack trace if it is executed
in an atomic spinlock context. Like this:
(XEN) CMCI: send CMCI to DOM0 through virq

This patch schedule a workqueue for IRQ handler to poll the data,
and use mutex instead of spinlock, so copy_to_user sleep in atomic
context would not occur.

When MCA error occurs, it would be handled by Xen hypervisor first,
and then the error information would be sent to initial domain for logging.
This patch gets error information from Xen hypervisor and convert
Xen format error into Linux format mcelog. This logic is basically
self-contained, not touching other kernel components.
By using tools like mcelog tool users could read specific error information,
like what they did under native Linux.
To test follow directions outlined in Documentation/acpi/apei/einj.txt
