x86/mce: Avoid infinite loop for copy from user recovery (2021-09-14 10:27:03 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
A set of x86 fixes:

- Prevent a infinite loop in the MCE recovery on return to user space,
which was caused by a second MCE queueing work for the same page and
thereby creating a circular work list.

- Make kern_addr_valid() handle existing PMD entries, which are marked not
present in the higher level page table, correctly instead of blindly
dereferencing them.

- Pass a valid address to sanitize_phys(). This was caused by the mixture
of inclusive and exclusive ranges. memtype_reserve() expect 'end' being
exclusive, but sanitize_phys() wants it inclusive. This worked so far,
but with end being the end of the physical address space the fail is
exposed.

- Increase the maximum supported GPIO numbers for 64bit. Newer SoCs exceed
the previous maximum.
