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.
