This is in there since it was switched to swork instead of using its
own thread and is also in v4.1:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git/tree/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c?h=linux-4.1.y-rt#n1387

as part of x86-mce-use-swait-queue-for-mce-wakeups.patch. And this
patch was first part of v3.18.9-rt4 as a new patch dropping x86-mce-
Defer-mce-wakeups-to-threads-for-PREEMPT_RT.patch.
