x86/mce: Fix MCE severity messages
Derek noticed that a critical MCE gets reported with the wrong
error type description:
[Hardware Error]: CPU 34: Machine Check Exception: 5 Bank 9: f200003f000100b0
[Hardware Error]: RIP !INEXACT! 10:<ffffffff812e14c1> {intel_idle+0xb1/0x170}
[Hardware Error]: TSC 49587b8e321cb
[Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:306e4 TIME 1431561296 SOCKET 1 APIC 29
[Hardware Error]: Some CPUs didn't answer in synchronization
[Hardware Error]: Machine check: Invalid
^^^^^^^
The last line with 'Invalid' should have printed the high level
MCE error type description we get from mce_severity, i.e.
something like:
[Hardware Error]: Machine check: Action required: data load error in a user process
this happens due to the fact that mce_no_way_out() iterates over
all MCA banks and possibly overwrites the @msg argument which is
used in the panic printing later.
Change behavior to take the message of only and the (last)
critical MCE it detects.
