With the previous patch, machine checks can use rtas_call_unlocked()
which avoids the RTAS spinlock which would deadlock if a machine
check hits while making an RTAS call.
This also avoids the complex RTAS error logging which has more RTAS
calls and includes kmalloc (which can return memory beyond RMA, which
would also crash).
