If ret is initialized to -1, this is never true since you only OR bits 
in ret.

Should the body of the loop be:
	ret &= sea_save_info(err_info->physical_fault_addr);

so as long as you as you manage to store 1 sea_info you set the thread flag?

But if that's the case a boolean might make more sense:

bool info_saved = false;
[...]
	info_saved |= !sea_save_info(err_info->physical_fault_addr);
[...]
if (info_saved)
		[...]

If I understand the Makefile change correctly, arm_proc_error_check is 
compiled only when CONFIG_ARM64_ERR_RECOV, don't you get a linker error 
here if this config is not selected?

Otherwise patch looks fine.
