[PATCH v11 3/3] ACPI: APEI: handle synchronous exceptions in task work to send correct SIGBUS si_code

Hardware errors could be signaled by asynchronous interrupt, e.g. when an
error is detected by a background scrubber, or signaled by synchronous
exception, e.g. when a CPU tries to access a poisoned cache line. Since
commit a70297d22132 ("ACPI: APEI: set memory failure flags as
MF_ACTION_REQUIRED on synchronous events")', the flag MF_ACTION_REQUIRED
could be used to determine whether a synchronous exception occurs on ARM64
platform. When a synchronous exception is detected, the kernel should
terminate the current process which accessing the poisoned page. This is
done by sending a SIGBUS signal with an error code BUS_MCEERR_AR,
indicating an action-required machine check error on read.

However, the memory failure recovery is incorrectly sending a SIGBUS
with wrong error code BUS_MCEERR_AO for synchronous errors in early kill
mode, even MF_ACTION_REQUIRED is set. The main problem is that
synchronous errors are queued as a memory_failure() work, and are
executed within a kernel thread context, not the user-space process that
encountered the corrupted memory on ARM64 platform. As a result, when
kill_proc() is called to terminate the process, it sends the incorrect
SIGBUS error code because the context in which it operates is not the
one where the error was triggered.

To this end, queue memory_failure() as a task_work so that it runs in
the context of the process that is actually consuming the poisoned data,
and it will send SIBBUS with si_code BUS_MCEERR_AR.
