EDAC: Fix kernel panic on module unloading
This patch fixes use-after-free and double-free bugs in edac_mc_sysfs_exit(). mci_pdev has single reference and put_device() calls mc_attr_release() which calls kfree(). The following device_del() works with already released memory. An another kfree() in edac_mc_sysfs_exit() releses the same memory again. Great.
