KVM: set_msr_mce: Permit guests to ignore single-bit ECC errors

Certain guest operating systems (e.g., UNIXWARE) clear bit 0 of
MC1_CTL to ignore single-bit ECC data errors.  Single-bit ECC data
errors are always correctable and thus are safe to ignore because they
are informational in nature rather than signaling a loss of data
integrity.

Prior to this patch, these guests would crash upon writing MC1_CTL,
with resultant error messages like the following:
