Subject: [RFC/RFT] amd64_edac: avoid doing post-probe setup

While testing asynchronous probing Luis noticed that this driver was
failing to initialize. It is happening because the driver tries to check
the result of binding, assuming that it is done synchronously, and either
abort the loading, or perform some additional setup steps.  This series
tried to work around it by moving these post-binding steps into probe() to
be executed when binding node 0.

Untested as I do not have AMD boxes.

Thanks!
