x86 NMI: continue in case of PCI SERR erros

Memory parity error is only valid for IBM PC-AT, newer machines use
bit 7 (0x80) of 0x61 port for PCI SERR. While memory errors are
usually reported via MCE.

Rename the memory parity error handler to pci serr handler and
print a warning and continue instead of crashing.
