Even more importantly, correctable errors mean exactly that - they've been corrected by the hardware - and there's no need to taint the kernel since execution hasn't been compromised so far. Also, drop tainting in the thermal throttling code for a similar reason: crossing a thermal threshold does not mean corruption.
