mce_no_way_out() does a quick check during #MC to see whether some of
the MCEs logged would require the kernel to panic immediately. And it
passes a struct mce where MCi_STATUS gets written.
However, after having saved a valid status value, the next iteration
of the loop which goes over the MCA banks on the CPU, overwrites the
valid status value because we're using struct mce as storage instead of
a temporary variable.
Which leads to MCE records with an empty status value:
mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 6 Bank 0: 0000000000000000
mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP 10:<ffffffffbd42fbd7> {trigger_mce+0x7/0x10}
In order to prevent the loss of the status register value, return
immediately when severity is a panic one so that we can panic
immediately with the first fatal MCE logged. This is also the intention
of this function and not to noodle over the banks while a fatal MCE is
already logged.
Tony: read the rest of the MCA bank to populate the struct mce fully.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
