x86/MCE: Determine MCA banks' init state properly
The OS is expected to write all bits to MCA_CTL for each bank, thus enabling error reporting in all banks. However, some banks may be unused in which case the registers for such banks are Read-as-Zero/Writes-Ignored. Also, the OS may avoid setting some control bits because of quirks, etc. A bank can be considered uninitialized if the MCA_CTL register returns zero. This is because either the OS did not write anything or because the hardware is enforcing RAZ/WI for the bank. Set a bank's init value based on if the control bits are set or not in hardware. Return an error code in the sysfs interface for uninitialized banks. Do a final bank init check in a separate function which is not part of any user-controlled code flows. This is so a user may enable/disable a bank during runtime without having to restart their system. [ bp: Massage a bit.
