[PATCH] x86, mce: cleanup mce_start()

[Hidetoshi Seto]

[ my 02/16 should be replaced by combination of Huang's fix and this cleanup ]

Simplify interface of mce_start().

-       no_way_out = mce_start(no_way_out, &order);
+       order = mce_start(&no_way_out);

Now Monarch and Subjects share same exit(return) in usual path.
