[linux-safety] [PATCH v2 5/5] x86/mce: rename kill_it as kill_current_task

["Paoloni, Gabriele" <gabriele.paoloni@intel.com>]

Currently if an MCE happens in user-mode or while the kernel
is copying data from user space, 'kill_it' is used to check
if we can recover the execution of the interrupted task or
not; the flag name however is not much meaningful, hence
rename it to match its goal.
