[PATCH v2] x86/mce: Always call memory_failure() when there is a valid address

Linux should always take poisoned pages offline when there is an error
report with a valid physcal address.

Note1: that call_me_maybe() will correctly handle the case currently
covered by the test of "kill_current_task" that is deleted by this
change because it will set the MF_MUST_KILL flag when p->mce_ripv is
not set.

Note2: This also provides defense against the case where the logged
error doesn't provide a physical address.
