Subject: [PATCH] x86, mce: use mce_usable_address() for UCNA memory error recovery

A machine-check address register (MCi_ADDR) that the processor uses
to report the address or location associated with the logged error.
The address field can hold a virtual (linear) address, a physical
address, or a value indicating an internal physical location, depending
on the type of error. For further information, see the documentation
for particular implementations of the architecture.
                                           -- AMD64 APM Volume 2

The IA32_MCi_ADDR MSR contains the address of the code or data memory
location that produced the machine-check error. The IA32_MCi_ADDR
register is either not implemented or contains no address if the ADDRV
flag in the IA32_MCi_STATUS register is clear. The address returned is
an offset into a segment, linear address, physical address, or memory
address. This depends on the error encountered.
                                           -- Intel SDM Volume 3B

As the comment of `mce_usable_address' suggests, we should check if the
address reported by the CPU is in a format we can parse. This patch aims
to use mce_usable_address() for UCNA/Deferred memory error recovery. For
Intel x86_64 platform mce_usable_address() can work fine, but it doesn't
even matter for AMD platform.
