x86/MCE/AMD: Don't report L1 BTB MCA errors on some family 17h models



AMD family 17h Models 10h-2Fh may report a high number of L1 BTB MCA
errors under certain conditions. The errors are benign and can safely be
ignored. However, the high error rate may cause the MCA threshold
counter to overflow causing a high rate of thresholding interrupts.

In addition, users may see the errors reported through the AMD MCE
decoder module, even with the interrupt disabled, due to MCA polling.

Clear the "Counter Present" bit in the Instruction Fetch bank's
MCA_MISC0 register. This will prevent enabling MCA thresholding on this
bank which will prevent the high interrupt rate due to this error.

Define an AMD-specific function to filter these errors from the MCE
event pool so that they don't get reported during early boot.

Rename filter function in EDAC/mce_amd to avoid a naming conflict, while
at it.

 [ bp: Move function prototype to the internal header and
   massage/cleanup, fix typos. ]
