x86/MCE/AMD: Clear DFR errors found in THR handler

AMD's MCA Thresholding feature counts errors of all severity levels, not
just correctable errors. If a deferred error causes the threshold limit
to be reached (it was the error that caused the overflow), then both a
deferred error interrupt and a thresholding interrupt will be triggered.

The order of the interrupts is not guaranteed. If the threshold
interrupt handler is executed first, then it will clear MCA_STATUS for
the error. It will not check or clear MCA_DESTAT which also holds a copy
of the deferred error. When the deferred error interrupt handler runs it
will not find an error in MCA_STATUS, but it will find the error in
MCA_DESTAT. This will cause two errors to be logged.

Check for deferred errors when handling a threshold interrupt. If a bank
contains a deferred error, then clear the bank's MCA_DESTAT register.

Define a new helper function to do the deferred error check and clearing
of MCA_DESTAT.
