Subject: [036/151] x86, mce: dont restart timer if disabled

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Hidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi@...fujitsu.com>

commit fe5ed91ddce85a0ed0e4f92c10b099873ef62167 upstream.

Even it is in error path unlikely taken, add_timer_on() at
CPU_DOWN_FAILED* needs to be skipped if mce_timer is disabled.
