x86/mce/inject: Check if a bank is populated before injecting
The MCA_IPID register uniquely identifies a bank's type on Scalable MCA (SMCA) systems. When an MCA bank is not populated, the MCA_IPID register will read as zero and writes to it will be ignored. On a hw-type error injection (injection which writes the actual MCA registers in an attempt to cause a real MCE) check the value of this register before trying to inject the error. Do not impose any limitations on a sw injection and allow the user to test out all the decoding paths without relying on the available hardware, as its purpose is to just test the code.
