rcu: create new rcu_access_index() and use in mce

Browse source 
The MCE subsystem needs to sample an RCU-protected index outside of
any protection for that index.  If this was a pointer, we would use
rcu_access_pointer(), but there is no corresponding rcu_access_index().
This commit therefore creates an rcu_access_index() and applies it
to MCE.
