Subject: [PATCH v4 5/5] x86/MCE: Determine MCA banks' init state properly

From: Yazen Ghannam <yazen.ghannam@....com>

The OS is expected to write all bits to MCA_CTL for each bank,
thus enabling error reporting in all banks. However, some banks
may be unused in which case the registers for such banks are
Read-as-Zero/Writes-Ignored. Also, the OS may avoid setting some control
bits because of quirks, etc.

A bank can be considered uninitialized if the MCA_CTL register returns
zero. This is because either the OS did not write anything or because
the hardware is enforcing RAZ/WI for the bank.

Set a bank's init value based on if the control bits are set or not in
hardware. Return an error code in the sysfs interface for uninitialized
banks.

Do a final bank init check in a separate function which is not part of
any user-controlled code flows. This is so a user may enable/disable a
bank during runtime without having to restart their system.

 [ bp: Massage a bit. Discover bank init state at boot. ]

v3->v4:
* Patch 5 version 3 was zapped.
* This is based on new patch from Boris which was based on Patch 6 version 3.
* Reworked new patch to fix sysfs issue with disabled banks.

v2->v3:
* No change.

v1->v2:
* No change.
