x86/cpu: Read/save PPIN MSR during initialization
Currently, the PPIN (Protected Processor Inventory Number) MSR is read by every CPU that processes a machine check, CMCI, or just polls machine check banks from a periodic timer. This is not a "fast" MSR, so this adds to overhead of processing errors. Add a new "ppin" field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure. Read and save the PPIN during initialization. Use this copy in mce_setup() instead of reading the MSR.
