x86/mce: Add support for physical address valid bit

Starting with Zen6, AMD's Scalable MCA systems will incorporate two new bits in
MCA_STATUS and MCA_CONFIG MSRs. These bits will indicate if a valid System
Physical Address (SPA) is present in MCA_ADDR.

PhysAddrValidSupported bit (MCA_CONFIG[11]) serves as the architectural
indicator and states if PhysAddrV bit (MCA_STATUS[54]) is Reserved or if it
indicates validity of SPA in MCA_ADDR.

PhysAddrV bit (MCA_STATUS[54]) advertises if MCA_ADDR contains valid SPA or if
it is implementation specific.

Use and prefer MCA_STATUS[PhysAddrV] when checking for a usable address.
