    x86, mce: CE in last bank prevents panic by unknown MCE · 680b6cfd

    If MCE handler is called but none of mces_seen have machine
    check event which might signal the MCE (i.e. event higher than
    MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY), panic with "Machine check from unknown
    source" will be taken since the MCE is assumed to be signaled
    from external agent or so.
    
    Usually mces_seen never point MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY event such as
    CE. But it can happen because initial value of mces_seen is
    accidentally modified by mce_no_way_out() - in case if
    mce_no_way_out() run through all banks and the last bank has
    the CE, mces_seen points the CE and the "panic by unknown" will
    not be taken.
    
    This patch fixes this undesired behavior, and clarifies the logic.
