Subject: [PATCH V2 3/6] x86/mce: Define 'SUCCOR' cpuid bit

SUCCOR stands for S/W UnCorrectable error COntainment and Recovery.
It indicates support for data poisoning in HW and deferred error
interrupts.

Add new bitfield in mce_vendor_flags for this.
We use this to verify prescence of deferred error interrupts
before we enable them in mce_amd.c

While at it, clarify comments in mce_vendor_flags to provide an
indication of usages of the bitfields.
