96d98bfd0366 ("x86/mce: Don't use percpu workqueues") dropped the
per-CPU workqueues in the MCE code but left the initialization per-CPU.
This lead to early boot time splats (below) in the workqueues code
because we were overwriting the workqueue during INIT_WORK() on each new
CPU which would appear.
Move initialization to mcheck_init() so it happens only once.
