Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/mce: Drop AMD specific "DEFERRED" case from Intel severity rule list

Way back in v3.19 Intel and AMD shared the same machine check severity
grading code. So it made sense to add a case for AMD DEFERRED errors in
commit e3480271f592 ("x86, mce, severity: Extend the the mce_severity mechanism to handle UCNA/DEFERRED error")

But later in v4.2 AMD switched to a separate grading function in
commit bf80bbd7dcf5 ("x86/mce: Add an AMD severities-grading function")

Belatedly drop the DEFERRED case from the Intel rule list.
