Somehow PR_GET_AUXV got added into PR_MCE_KILL's switch when the patch was
applied [1].

Thus move it out of the switch, to the place the patch added it.

In the recently released v6.4 kernel some user could, in principle, be
already using this feature by mapping the right page and passing the
PR_GET_AUXV constant as a pointer:

    prctl(PR_MCE_KILL, PR_GET_AUXV, ...)

So this does change the behavior for users.  We could keep the bug since
the other subcases in PR_MCE_KILL (PR_MCE_KILL_CLEAR and PR_MCE_KILL_SET)
do not overlap.

However, v6.4 may be recent enough (2 weeks old) that moving the lines
(rather than just adding a new case) does not break anybody?  Moreover,
the documentation in man-pages was just committed today [2].
