__mcheck_cpu_init_timer() does not only prepare the timer but also fires
it. And __mcheck_cpu_init_timer() is invoked from other places and the
caller probably expects the timer to be fired.

Correct. This is done later since it still works. For functions like
mce_disable_cpu() which were converted here I replaced the check so I
keep them void and don't care about the argument.
