Subject: [PATCH] x86: MCE: Fix for mce_panic_timeout

This fixes:

 - In case of panic_timeout == 0 and mce_bootlog != 0:
   System should reboot after mce panic, but it doesn't because current
   mce code doesn't overwrite small panic_timeout even if it is 0.

 - In case of panic_timeout > 0 and mce_bootlog == 0.
   System should reboot after panic, but it doesn't on mce panic because
   current mce code overwrite panic_timeout to 0.
