Subject: [PATCH v8] x86/mce: retrieve poison range from hardware

When memory poison consumption machine checks fire,
mce-notifier-handlers like nfit_handle_mce() record the impacted
physical address range which is reported by the hardware in the
MCi_MISC MSR. The error information includes data about blast radius,
i.e. how many cachelines did the hardware determine are impacted.
A recent change, commit 7917f9cdb503 ("acpi/nfit: rely on mce->misc to
determine poison granularity"), updated nfit_handle_mce() to stop hard
coding the blast radius value of 1 cacheline, and instead rely on the
blast radius reported in 'struct mce' which can be up to 4K (64 cachelines).

It turns out that apei_mce_report_mem_error() had a similar problem in
that it hard coded a blast radius of 4K rather than reading the blast
radius from the error information. Fix apei_mce_report_mem_error() to
convey the proper poison granularity.
