powerpc/mce: fix off by one errors in mce event handling
Before 69111bac ("powerpc: Replace __get_cpu_var uses"), in save_mce_event, index got the value of mce_nest_count, and mce_nest_count was incremented *after* index was set. However, that patch changed the behaviour so that mce_nest count was incremented *before* setting index. This causes an off-by-one error, as get_mce_event sets index as mce_nest_count - 1 before reading mce_event. Thus get_mce_event reads bogus data, causing warnings like "Machine Check Exception, Unknown event version 0 !" and breaking MCEs handling. Restore the old behaviour and unbreak MCE handling by subtracting one from the newly incremented value. The same broken change occured in machine_check_queue_event (which set a queue read by machine_check_process_queued_event). Fix that too, unbreaking printing of MCE information.
