x86/mce: Do not use bank 1 for APEI generated error logs
BIOS can report a memory error to Linux using ACPI/APEI mechanism. When it does this, we create a fictitious machine check error record and feed it into the standard mce_log() function. The error record needs a machine check bank number, and for some reason we chose "1" for this. But "1" is a valid bank number, and this causes confusion and heartburn among h/w folks who are concerned that a memory error signature was somehow logged in bank 1. Change to use "-1" (field is a "u8" so will typically print as 255). This should make it clearer that this error did not originate in a machine check bank.
