    x86/MCE-telem: drop unnecessary per-CPU field
    
    struct mc_telem_cpu_ctl's processing field is used solely in
    mctelem_process_deferred(), where the local variable can as well be used
    directly when retrieving the head of the list to process. This then also
    eliminates the field holding a dangling pointer once the processing of
    the list finished, in particular when the entry is handed to
    mctelem_dismiss().
    
    No functional change intended.
