This causes section mismatches because the
edac_{debugfs,mc_sysfs}_exit() functions have __exit annotation but
you've added them to an __init-annotated function. And I should've
caught that :-\

Anyway, here's a fix I'm queueing ontop:

Subject: [PATCH] EDAC: Fix section mismatches from edac_init unwind path

192580b45e8e ("EDAC: Properly unwind on failure path in edac_init()")
added an unwind path in case of error but those functions have __exit
annotation and are being used in an __init function, leading to section
mismatches. Drop the section annotation and make them normal functions.
