[PATCH] x86/mce: Do not use bank 1 for APEI generated error logs.

[Tony Luck]

BIOS can report a memory error to Linux using ACPI/APEI mechanism.
When it does this, we create a fictitious machine check error record
and feed it into the standard mce_Log() function. The error record
needs a machine check bank number, and for some reason we chose "1"
for this.

But "1" is a valid bank number, and this causes confusion and heartburn
among h/w folks who are concerned that a memory error signature was
somehow logged in bank 1.

Change to use "mca_cfg.banks" (one higher than the largest bank number
supported on the platform) so that it will be clearer that this error
did not originate in a machine check bank.
