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.
