Subject: [PATCH 5/7] x86/mcheck: reorganize the hotplug callbacks

Initially I wanted to remove mcheck_cpu_init() from identify_cpu() and let it
become an independent early hotplug callback. The main problem here was that
the init on the boot CPU may happen too late
(device_initcall_sync(mcheck_init_device)) and nobody wanted to risk receiving
and MCE event at boot time leading to a shutdown (if the MCE feature is not yet
enabled).

Here is attempt two: the timming stays as-is but the ordering of the functions
is changed:
- mcheck_cpu_init() (which is run from identify_cpu()) will setup the timer
  struct but won't fire the timer. This is moved to CPU_ONLINE since its
  cleanup part is in CPU_DOWN_PREPARE. So if it is okay to stop the timer early
  in the shutdown phase, it should be okay to start it late in the bring up phase.

- CPU_DOWN_PREPARE disables the MCE feature flags for !INTEL CPUs in
  mce_disable_cpu(). If a failure occures it would be re-enabled on all vendor
  CPUs (including Intel where it was not disabled during shutdown). To keep this
  working I am moving it to CPU_ONLINE. smp_call_function_single() is dropped
  beause the notifier runs nowdays on the target CPU.

- CPU_ONLINE is invoking mce_device_create() + mce_threshold_create_device()
  but its cleanup part is in CPU_DEAD (mce_threshold_remove_device() and
  mce_device_remove()). In order to keep this symmetrical I am moving the clean
  up from CPU_DEAD to CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.
