Subject: EDAC: Fix workqueues poll period resetting

From: Nicholas Krause <[email protected]>

commit fbedcaf43fba35677c01a4ae51e6f79edf4049ba upstream.

After the workqueue cleanup, we're registering workqueues based on the presence of an ->edac_check function. When that is the case, we're setting OP_RUNNING_POLL. But we forgot to check that in edac_mc_reset_delay_period(), leading to:
