x86/mce: Don't clear shared banks on Intel when offlining CPUs

It is not safe to clear global MCi_CTL banks during CPU offline
or suspend/resume operations. These MSRs are either
thread-scoped (meaning private to a thread), or core-scoped
(private to threads in that core only), or with a socket scope:
visible and controllable from all threads in the socket.

When we offline a single CPU, clearing those MCi_CTL bits will
stop signaling for all the shared, i.e., socket-wide resources,
such as LLC, iMC, etc.

In addition, it might be possible to compromise the integrity of
an Intel Secure Guard eXtentions (SGX) system if the attacker
has control of the host system and is able to inject errors
which would be otherwise ignored when MCi_CTL bits are cleared.

Hence on SGX enabled systems, if MCi_CTL is cleared, SGX gets
disabled.
