Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/mce/inject: Remove call to mce_notify_irq()

The call is actually a noop because when the MCE is raised the early
notifier is the only call site that correctly calls mce_notify_irq()
because it also sets mce_need_notify. Remove this call, making
mce_notify_irq() be private to core.c
