Subject: [PATCH 3.2 117/200] EDAC: Correct workqueue setup path

3.2.56-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

commit cb6ef42e516cb8948f15e4b70dc03af8020050a2 upstream.

We're using edac_mc_workq_setup() both on the init path, when
we load an edac driver and when we change the polling period
(edac_mc_reset_delay_period) through /sys/.../edac_mc_poll_msec.

On that second path we don't need to init the workqueue which has been
initialized already.

Thanks to Tejun for workqueue insights.
