Well, I seem to remember at the time of this:

  9c15a24b038f ("x86/mce: Improve mcheck_init_device() error handling")

that I requested to have that error message there so that we *know* when
that function fails instead of trying to decipher "Hey, mcelog doesn't
start here" and wonder why.

But we can kill it just as well, especially as there's patch deprecating
/dev/mcelog floating around. We can reorg error messages in that
function later, if deemed necessary.

So sure.
