From: Yazen Ghannam <yazen.ghannam@xxxxxxx> Always call kill_me_maybe() in order to attempt memory recovery. This ensures that any memory associated with the error is properly marked as poison. This is needed for errors that occur on memory, but that do not have MCG_STATUS[RIPV] set. One example is data poison consumption through the instruction fetch units on AMD Zen-based systems. The MF_MUST_KILL flag is passed to memory_failure() when MCG_STATUS[RIPV] is not set. So the associated process will still be killed.
