x86/MCE: disable if MCE banks are not present

When booting Xen on VMware ESX 5.1 and Workstation 9, you hit a GPF
during MCE initialization. The culprit is line 631 in
set_poll_bankmask():
                bitmap_copy(mb->bank_map, mca_allbanks->bank_map, nr_mce_banks);

What is happening is that in mca_cap_init(), nr_mce_banks is being set
to 0. This causes the allocation of bank_map to be set to
ZERO_BLOCK_PTR which is the return value for zero-size allocation by
xzalloc_array()/_xmalloc(). This results in the bitmap_copy() to fail
disastrously. The following patch fixes this issue.
