From: William Roche <william.roche@oracle.com>

The Corrected Error events collected by the cec_add_elem() have to be
consistently filtered out.
We fix the case where the value of find_elem() to find the slot of a pfn
was mistakenly used as the return value of the function.
Now the MCE notifiers chain relying on MCE_HANDLED_CEC would only report
filtered corrected errors that reached the action threshold.

Notes:
    This is the new patch version using an additional 'err' variable.
    Unit tested it on a VM instance and a "Bare Metal" machine.
    
    No reporting is done by the MCE_HANDLED_CEC aware notifiers until
    the action threshold is reached.
