From: Ewout van Bekkum <ew...@google.com>
The machine check handler, do_machine_check(), has a sanity check before
clearing the MCE banks in case the system has no_way_out and has to
crash. However, this sanity check does not take into account the
configured MCE tolerant level as the system may still keep running. The
sanity check was updated to check if the system has no_way_out and that
no_way_out is relevant (tolerant level is less than 3).
