[PATCH v2 2/5] x86/mce/inject: Warn the user on a not set valid bit in MCA_STATUS

[Smita Koralahalli]

MCA handlers check the valid bit in each status register (MCA_STATUS[Val])
and will likely ignore signatures if the valid bit is not set.

Warn the user if the valid bit is not set before doing error injection.

v2:
	Added a warning statement instead of setting the valid bit.
