Subject: [PATCH 2/8] x86, mce: remove redundant mce_available() checks

I noticed that there is no need to check mce_available() on runtime.
In fact we don't support asymmetric configuration such as mixture of
varied processors which some are MCE capable while others are not.

Finally only 2 checks in init code path are enough for now.

When !mce_available():
  - in mcheck_cpu_init():
    - mce timer is not initialized
    - cmci is not enabled
  - and later in mce_init_device():
    - sysfs files are not created
    - hotplug notifier is not registered
So we don't need checks at all in these functions which is never
called when !mce_available().

For safety I also add a warning which is given when bad unsupported
asymmetric configuration is detected.
