parse_cec_param() compares a string with "cec_disable" using only 7
characters of the 11-character-long string.
The proper solution for this would be:
#define CEC_DISABLE "cec_disable"
strncmp(str, CEC_DISABLE, strlen(CEC_DISABLE))
but when comparing a string against a string constant strncmp() has no
advantage over strcmp() because the comparison is guaranteed to be bound by
the string constant. So just replace str strncmp() with strcmp().

Introduce a simple data structure for collecting correctable errors
along with accessors. More detailed description in the code itself.
The error decoding is done with the decoding chain now and
mce_first_notifier() gets to see the error first and the CEC decides
whether to log it and then the rest of the chain doesn't hear about it -
basically the main reason for the CE collector - or to continue running
the notifiers.
When the CEC hits the action threshold, it will try to soft-offine the
page containing the ECC and then the whole decoding chain gets to see
the error.
