[PATCH v2] powerpc/pseries: Avoid using addr_to_pfn in realmode

When an UE or memory error exception is encountered the MCE handler
tries to find the pfn using addr_to_pfn() which takes effective
address as an argument, later pfn is used to poison the page where
memory error occurred, recent rework in this area made addr_to_pfn
to run in realmode, which can be fatal as it may try to access
memory outside RMO region.

To fix this use addr_to_pfn after switching to virtual mode.

V2: Leave bare metal code and save_mce_event as is.
