x86, mce: always use separate work queue to run trigger
Impact: Needed for bug fix in next patch This relaxes the requirement that mce_notify_user has to run in process context. Useful for future changes, but also leads to cleaner behaviour now. Now instead mce_notify_user can be called directly from interrupt (but not NMI) context. The work queue only uses a single global work struct, which can be done safely because it is always free to reuse before the trigger function is executed. This way no events can be lost.
