[PATCH] x86/mce: Fix initialization error warning

From: Prarit Bhargava
Date: Mon Jan 16 2017 - 17:03:33 EST


When booting kernel with mce=off a loud warning from the mce code
is displayed. This causes confusion for end users.

Add a check to see if MCE is available before outputting the warning
message.
