[PATCH v1 4/4] powerpc/mce: hookup memory_failure for UE errors

If we are in user space and hit a UE error, we now have the
basic infrastructure to walk the page tables and find out
the effective address that was accessed, since the DAR
is not valid.

We use a work_queue content to hookup the bad pfn, any
other context causes problems, since memory_failure itself
can call into schedule() via lru_drain_ bits.

We could probably poison the struct page to avoid a race
between detection and taking corrective action.
