PATCH 1/2 x86/mce: Fix mce regression from recent cleanup

commit 33d7885b594e169256daef652e8d3527b2298e75 x86/mce: Update MCE severity condition check

Simplified the rules to recognise each classification of recoverable machine check combining the instruction and data fetch rules into a single entry based on clarifications in the June 2013 SDM that all recoverable events would be reported on the unaffected processor with MCG_STATUS.EIPV=0 and MCG_STATUS.RIPV=1. Unfortunately the simplified rule has a couple of bugs. Fix them here.

PATCH 2/2 x86/mce: Pay no attention to 'F' bit in MCACOD when parsing 'UC' errors

In reply to Tony Luck

The 0x1000 bit of the MCACOD field of machine check MCi_STATUS registers is only defined for corrected errors (where it means that hardware may be filtering errors see SDM section 15.9.2.1).

For uncorrected errors it may, or may not be set - so we should mask it out when checking for the architecturaly defined recoverable error signatures (see SDM 15.9.3.1 and 15.9.3.2)
