Subject: [PATCH] x86: Prevent oops with >16 memory controllers

When ECC interrupts occur on memory controllers after EDAC_MAX_MCS (16), the
kernel fatally dereferences unallocated structures [1]; this occurs on at
least NumaConnect systems.

Minimally fix by checking if a memory controller info structure is allocated;
candidate for stable.
