Pull EDAC fixes from Borislav Petkov:
"Two fixes for use-after-free and memory leaking in the EDAC core, by
Robert Richter.
Debug options like DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE, KASAN and DEBUG_KMEMLEAK
unearthed issues with the lifespan of memory allocated by the EDAC
memory controller descriptor due to misdesigned memory freeing, done
partially by the EDAC core *and* the driver core, which is problematic
to say the least.
These two are minimal fixes to take care of stable - a proper rework
is following which cleans up that mess properly"
