Subject: [PATCH 4.6 007/203] EDAC: Fix workqueues poll period resetting

4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Nicholas Krause <xerofoify@...il.com>

commit fbedcaf43fba35677c01a4ae51e6f79edf4049ba upstream.

After the workqueue cleanup, we're registering workqueues based on
the presence of an ->edac_check function. When that is the case,
we're setting OP_RUNNING_POLL. But we forgot to check that in
edac_mc_reset_delay_period(), leading to:
