Subject: [PATCH] edac: avoid mce decoding crash after edac driver unloaded

Some edac drivers register themselves as mce decoders via
notifier_chain. But in current notifier_chain implementation logic,
it doesn't accept same notifier registered twice. If so, it will be
wrong when adding/removing the element from the list. For example,
on one SandyBridge platform, remove module sb_edac and then trigger
one error, it will hit oops because it has no mce decoder registered
but related notifier_chain still points to an invalid callback
function. Here is an example:

Oops: 0000 [#2] SMP

Only i7core_edac and sb_edac have such issues because they have more
than one memory controller which means they have to register mce
decoder many times.

v2->v1:
  move register/unregister to the init/exit part
