x86/mce: Define mce_prep_record() helpers for common and per-CPU fields



Generally, MCA information for an error is gathered on the CPU that
reported the error. In this case, CPU-specific information from the
running CPU will be correct.

However, this will be incorrect if the MCA information is gathered while
running on a CPU that didn't report the error. One example is creating
an MCA record using mce_prep_record() for errors reported from ACPI.

Split mce_prep_record() so that there is a helper function to gather
common, i.e. not CPU-specific, information and another helper for
CPU-specific information.

Leave mce_prep_record() defined as-is for the common case when running
on the reporting CPU.

Get MCG_CAP in the global helper even though the register is per-CPU.
This value is not already cached per-CPU like other values. And it does
not assist with any per-CPU decoding or handling.
