[v3] powerpc/pseries: Handle UE event for memcpy_mcsafe

If we hit UE at an instruction with a fixup entry, flag to
ignore the event and set nip to continue execution at the
fixup entry.
For powernv these changes are already made by
commit 895e3dceeb97 ("powerpc/mce: Handle UE event for memcpy_mcsafe")

You don't explain why we would want to do that. Or what the consequences
are if we *don't* do it.

As such it's unclear if this is an important fix or just a nice-to-have.

We have masses of code that supposedly abstracts the MCE logic. How did
we end up in the situation where we're having to write the same fix
twice for different platforms?

cheers

We want avoid panic if we hit MCE during memcpy from pmem devices because
the system is still recoverable and should just result -EIO, So we flag it here
to ignore the UE event. I will respin with better commit message.

What is common between pseries and powernv now is saving the MCE event for deferred
handling and deferred handling. According to me it becomes bit messy to return
disposition(UE RECOVERED) from common code. So what we can have is a common function
which searches the exception table entry and updates nip with fixup address, And call
it from different places for pseries and powernv. If you are ok ill spin next version.
