Subject: [PATCH 02/31] x86: MCE: Improve mce_get_rip v3

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@...el.com>

Assume RIP is valid when either EIPV or RIPV are set. This influences
whether the machine check exception handler decides to return or panic.

This fixes a test case in the mce-test suite and is more compliant
to the specification.

This currently only makes a difference in a artificial testing
scenario with the mce-test test suite.

Also in addition do not force the RIP to be valid with the exact
register MSRs.

[AK: combination of patches from Huang Ying and Hidetoshi Seto, with
new description by me]
