[PATCH] x86/MCE/AMD: Allow thresholding interface updates after init

[Yazen Ghannam]

Changes to the AMD Thresholding sysfs code prevents sysfs writes from
updating the underlying registers once CPU init is completed, i.e.
"threshold_banks" is set.

Allow the registers to be updated if the thresholding interface is
already initialized or if in the init path. Use the "set_lvt_off" value
to indicate if running in the init path, since this value is only set
during init.
