x86/mce/therm_throt: Do not access uninitialized therm_work
It is relatively easy to trigger the following boot splat on an Ice Lake client platform. The call stack is like: kernel BUG at kernel/timer/timer.c:1152! Call Trace: __queue_delayed_work queue_delayed_work_on therm_throt_process intel_thermal_interrupt ... The reason is that a CPU's thermal interrupt is enabled prior to executing its hotplug onlining callback which will initialize the throttling workqueues. Such a race can lead to therm_throt_process() accessing an uninitialized therm_work, leading to the above BUG at a very early bootup stage. Therefore, unmask the thermal interrupt vector only after having setup the workqueues completely.
