Subject: [032/103] i7core_edac: fix panic in udimm sysfs attributes registration

------------------

From: Marcin Slusarz <marcin.slusarz@...il.com>

commit 64aab720bdf8771214a7c88872bd8e3194c2d279 upstream.

Array of udimm sysfs attributes was not ended with NULL marker, leading to
dereference of random memory.

  EDAC DEBUG: edac_create_mci_instance_attributes: edac_create_mci_instance_attributes() file udimm1
