x86, mce: CE in last bank prevents panic by unknown MCE
If MCE handler is called but none of mces_seen have machine check event which might signal the MCE (i.e. event higher than MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY), panic with "Machine check from unknown source" will be taken since the MCE is assumed to be signaled from external agent or so. Usually mces_seen never point MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY event such as CE. But it can happen because initial value of mces_seen is accidentally modified by mce_no_way_out() - in case if mce_no_way_out() run through all banks and the last bank has the CE, mces_seen points the CE and the "panic by unknown" will not be taken. This patch fixes this undesired behavior, and clarifies the logic. Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: H.
