x86/MCE: Correct TSC timestamping of error records
We did have logic in the MCE code which would TSC-timestamp an error record only when it is exact - i.e., when it wasn't detected by polling. This isn't the case anymore. So let's fix that: We have a valid TSC timestamp in the error record only when it has been a precise detection, i.e., either in the #MC handler or in one of the interrupt handlers (thresholding, deferred, ...). All other error records still have mce.time which contains the wall time in order to be able to place the error record in time at least approximately. Also, this fixes another bug where machine_check_poll() would clear mce.tsc unconditionally even if we requested precise MCP_TIMESTAMP logging. The proper fix would be to generate timestamp only when it has been requested and not always. But that would require a more thorough code audit of all mce_gather_info/mce_setup() users. Add a FIXME for now.
