Subject: [PATCH v2] printk: ignore recursion_bug flag in HW error handle process

From: ShuoX Liu <shuox.liu@...el.com>

When MCE happens in printk, we ignore recursion_bug to make sure MCE logs printed out.

According to Boris' suggestion, we add some helper functions.
1) hw_error_enter: Call it when specific arch begins to process a hardware error.
2) hw_error_exit: Call it when specific arch finishes the processing of a hardware error.
3) in_hw_error():indicates whether HW error handling is in processing.

Each arch could call the helpers in their arch-dependent HW error handlers.
