x86/mce/AMD: Give a name to MCA bank 3 when accessed with legacy MSRs
MCA bank 3 is reserved on systems pre-Fam17h, so it didn't have a name.
However, MCA bank 3 is defined on Fam17h systems and can be accessed
using legacy MSRs. Without a name we get a stack trace on Fam17h systems
when trying to register sysfs files for bank 3 on kernels that don't
recognize Scalable MCA:
WARNING: CPU: 26 PID: 1 at lib/kobject.c:210 kobject_add_internal
kobject: (ffff88085bb256c0): attempted to be registered with empty name!
...
Call Trace:
dump_stack()
warn_slowpath_common()
warn_slowpath_fmt()
kobject_add_internal()
kobject_add()
kobject_create_and_add()
threshold_create_device()
threshold_init_device()
do_one_initcall()
kernel_init_freeable()
kernel_init()
ret_from_fork()
Call MCA bank 3 "decode_unit" since this is what it represents on
Fam17h. This will allow kernels without SMCA support to see this bank on
Fam17h+ and prevent the stack trace. This will not affect older systems
since this bank is reserved on them, i.e. it'll be ignored.
Tested on AMD Fam15h and Fam17h systems.
