Subject: [PATCH 3/3] edac: add new core index allocator

From: Harry Ciao <qingtao.cao@...driver.com>

Add edac_device_alloc_index(), because for some platforms there may
exist several EDAC driver modules that could make use of
edac_device_ctl_info structure at the same time. The index allocation
for these structures should be taken care of by EDAC core.
