[PATCH 2/4] powerpc/powernv: machine check use kernel crash path

[Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>]

Use the kernel crash path in cases of recovered machine checks that
occur in kernel mode, because it gives much better Linux crash
information, and can allow the offending process to be killed without
completely taking down the system.


As a test, when triggering an i-side 0111b error (ifetch from foreign
address) in kernel mode process context on POWER9, the kernel currently
dies quickly like this:

Severe Machine check interrupt [Not recovered]
  NIP [ffff000000000000]: 0xffff000000000000
  Initiator: CPU
  Error type: Real address [Instruction fetch (foreign)]

After this patch, the process is killed and the kernel continues with
this message, which gives enough information to identify the offending
branch (e.g., CFAR):

Severe Machine check interrupt [Not recovered]
