powerpc/book3s: Fix guest MC delivery mechanism to avoid soft lockups in guest.
Currently we forward MCEs to guest which have been recovered by guest. And for unhandled errors we do not deliver the MCE to guest. It looks like with no support of FWNMI in qemu, guest just panics whenever we deliver the recovered MCEs to guest. Also, the existig code used to return to host for unhandled errors which was casuing guest to hang with soft lockups inside guest and makes it difficult to recover guest instance. This patch now forwards all fatal MCEs to guest causing guest to crash/panic. And, for recovered errors we just go back to normal functioning of guest instead of returning to host. This fixes soft lockup issues in guest. This patch also fixes an issue where guest MCE events were not logged to host console.
