x86/mce: Fix CPU hotplug and suspend regression related to MCE

Browse Source 
Commit 8a25a2fd126c ("cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class
to a regular subsystem") changed how things are dealt with in the MCE
subsystem.  Some of the things that got broken due to this are CPU
hotplug and suspend/hibernate.

MCE uses per_cpu allocations of struct device.  So, when a CPU goes
offline and comes back online, in order to ensure that we start from a
clean slate with respect to the MCE subsystem, zero out the entire
per_cpu device structure to 0 before using it.
