In this patchset, we remove the unused macro EX_TYPE_COPY and centralize
the processing of memory-failure to do_machine_check() to avoid calling
memory_failure_queue() separately for different MC-Safe scenarios. In
addition, MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN is renamed MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPY_MC to expand
its usage scope.

since v4:
  1. Patch1, suggested by Petkov, changes as follows:
    a.Improve the commit msg.
    b.Directly delete the unused fixup_type EX_TYPE_COPY instead of
      disrupting the overall layout.
  2. Patch2/3, improve the commit msg suggested by Petkov.
  3. To better describe the problem, reorder the patch 2/3.

since v3:
  1. Rebased on linux-next tag next-20240111.
  2. Delete duplicate commit references on patch 3.

since v2:
  1. remove redundant fixup type EX_TYPE_COPY.
  2. rename MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN to MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPY_MC.
  3. update patch3's commit message and the processing logic of
     EX_TYPE_DEFAULT_MCE_SAFE based on the discussion of [1].
