Subject: [PATCH 5.16 0847/1039] x86/mce: Check regs before accessing it

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

commit 1acd85feba81084fcef00b73fc1601e42b77c5d8 upstream.

Commit in Fixes accesses pt_regs before checking whether it is NULL or
not. Make sure the NULL pointer check happens first.

Fixes: 0a5b288e85bb ("x86/mce: Prevent severity computation from being instrumented")
