mm/memory-failure.c: don't let collect_procs() skip over processes for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED
When Linux sees an "action optional" machine check (where h/w has reported an error that is not in the current execution path) we generally do not want to signal a process, since most processes do not have a SIGBUS handler - we'd just prematurely terminate the process for a problem that they might never actually see. task_early_kill() decides whether to consider a process - and it checks whether this specific process has been marked for early signals with "prctl", or if the system administrator has requested early signals for all processes using /proc/sys/vm/memory_failure_early_kill. But for MF_ACTION_REQUIRED case we must not defer. The error is in the execution path of the current thread so we must send the SIGBUS immediatley. Fix by passing a flag argument through collect_procs*() to task_early_kill() so it knows whether we can defer or must take action.
