Like #DB, when occurred on different ring level, i.e., from user or kernel
context, #MCE needs to be handled on different stack: User #MCE on current
task stack, while kernel #MCE on a dedicated stack.
This is exactly how FRED event delivery invokes an exception handler: ring
3 event on level 0 stack, i.e., current task stack; ring 0 event on the
#MCE dedicated stack specified in the IA32_FRED_STKLVLS MSR. So unlike IDT,
the FRED machine check entry stub doesn't do stack switch.

Changes since v5:
* Disallow #DB inside #MCE for robustness sake (Peter Zijlstra).
