Subject: [PATCH] x86: MCE: Fix for getting IP/CS at MCE

Assume IP stored on the stack indicates the address of instruction at
the time of the MCE when either EIPV or RIPV are set.  This influences
whether the machine check exception handler decides to return or panic.

This fixes an EIPV 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 overwrite the EIPV with the presence of MSR,
and keep in trust the CS value on stack even if MSR is available.

[AK: combination of patches from Huang Ying and Hidetoshi Seto, with
 new description by me]
[HS: change misleading function name, add comment and some description
 based on "Improve mce_get_rip v3" ]
