mm/memory-failure.c: support use of a dedicated thread to handle SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO) 

Currently memory error handler handles action optional errors in the
deferred manner by default.  And if a recovery aware application wants
to handle it immediately, it can do it by setting PF_MCE_EARLY flag.
However, such signal can be sent only to the main thread, so it's
problematic if the application wants to have a dedicated thread to
handler such signals.

So this patch adds dedicated thread support to memory error handler.  We
have PF_MCE_EARLY flags for each thread separately, so with this patch
AO signal is sent to the thread with PF_MCE_EARLY flag set, not the main
thread.  If you want to implement a dedicated thread, you call prctl()
to set PF_MCE_EARLY on the thread.

Memory error handler collects processes to be killed, so this patch lets
it check PF_MCE_EARLY flag on each thread in the collecting routines.

No behavioral change for all non-early kill cases.

Tony said:

: The old behavior was crazy - someone with a multithreaded process might
: well expect that if they call prctl(PF_MCE_EARLY) in just one thread, then
: that thread would see the SIGBUS with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_A0 - even if
: that thread wasn't the main thread for the process.

the SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AO) on behalf of the process, you should
call prctl(PR_MCE_KILL_EARLY) on the designated thread. Otherwise,
the SIGBUS is sent to the main thread.
