mcelog: Check if location was correctly parsed

Avoid dispatching metrics if location (used as plugin instance) wasn't parsed
correctly. Such thing can occur when there are no machine check exceptions
reported by mcelog server. With csv plugin enabled, it was causing a creation of
unexpected mcelog directory with all files (metrics) filled out with 0's.
