After MCE has occurred, it is possible for the MCE handler to execute the
add_taint() function without panic. For example, the fake_panic is
configured.

fake_panic is an ancient debugging leftover. If you set it, you get what
you deserve.


It may also happen without setting fake_panic, such as an MCE error of the UCNA/SRAO type occurred?
