When a thread in a multi-threaded application hits a machine
check because of an uncorrectable error in memory - we want to
send the SIGBUS with si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR to that thread.
Currently we fail to do that if the active thread is not the
primary thread in the process. collect_procs() just finds primary
threads and this test:
if ((flags & MF_ACTION_REQUIRED) && t == current) {
will see that the thread we found isn't the current thread
and so send a si.si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AO to the primary
(and nothing to the active thread at this time).
We can fix this by checking whether "current" shares the same
mm with the process that collect_procs() said owned the page.
If so, we send the SIGBUS to current (with code BUS_MCEERR_AR).
