powerpc/book3s: Add stack overflow check in machine check handler.
Currently machine check handler does not check for stack overflow for nested machine check. If we hit another MCE while inside the machine check handler repeatedly from same address then we get into risk of stack overflow which can cause huge memory corruption. This patch limits the nested MCE level to 4 and panic when we cross level 4.
