[PATCH 2/5] x86/mcheck/AMD: Do not perform shared bank check for future processors

[Aravind Gopalakrishnan]

Fam17h and above should not require a check to see if a bank
is shared or not. For shared banks, there will always be only
one core that has visibility over the MSRs and only that
particular core will be allowed to write to the MSRs

Fixing the code to return early if we detect Fam17h or above.
No change in functionality for earlier processors
