x86, mce: Fix rcu splat in drain_mce_log_buffer()

While booting, the following message is seen:

Fix this by using ACCESS_ONCE() instead of rcu_dereference_check_mce()
over mcelog.next. Since the access to each entry is controlled by the
->finished field, ACCESS_ONCE() should work just fine. An rcu_dereference
is unnecessary here.
