powerpc/mce: Fix a bug where mce loops on memory UE.
The current code extracts the physical address for UE errors and then hooks it up into memory failure infrastructure. On successful extraction of physical address it wrongly sets "handled = 1" which means this UE error has been recovered. Since MCE handler gets return value as handled = 1, it assumes that error has been recovered and goes back to same NIP. This causes MCE interrupt again and again in a loop leading to hard lockup. Also, initialize phys_addr to ULONG_MAX so that we don't end up queuing undesired page to hwpoison.
