x86, amd, mce: Avoid NULL pointer reference on CPU northbridge lookup
commit 21c5e50e15b1abd797e62f18fd7f90b9cc004cbd upstream.
When booting on a federated multi-server system (NumaScale), the
processor Northbridge lookup returns NULL; add guards to prevent this
causing an oops.
On those systems, the northbridge is accessed through MMIO and the
"normal" northbridge enumeration in amd_nb.c doesn't work since we're
generating the northbridge ID from the initial APIC ID and the last
is not unique on those systems. Long story short, we end up without
northbridge descriptors.
