x86, mce: CE in last bank prevents panic by unknown MCE



If MCE handler is called but none of mces_seen have machine
check event which might signal the MCE (i.e. event higher than
MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY), panic with "Machine check from unknown
source" will be taken since the MCE is assumed to be signaled
from external agent or so.

Usually mces_seen never point MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY event such as
CE. But it can happen because initial value of mces_seen is
accidentally modified by mce_no_way_out() - in case if
mce_no_way_out() run through all banks and the last bank has
the CE, mces_seen points the CE and the "panic by unknown" will
not be taken.

This patch fixes this undesired behavior, and clarifies the logic.
