Subject: [PATCH 4.9 129/222] EDAC: Raise the maximum number of memory controllers

From: Justin Ernst <justin.ernst@....com>

[ Upstream commit 6b58859419554fb824e09cfdd73151a195473cbc ]

We observe an oops in the skx_edac module during boot:

  EDAC MC0: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#0 IMC#0
  EDAC MC1: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#0 IMC#1
  EDAC MC2: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#1 IMC#0
  ...
  EDAC MC13: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#0 IMC#1
  EDAC MC14: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#1 IMC#0
  EDAC MC15: Giving out device to module skx_edac controller Skylake Socket#1 IMC#1
  Too many memory controllers: 16
  EDAC MC: Removed device 0 for skx_edac Skylake Socket#0 IMC#0

We observe there are two memory controllers per socket, with a limit
of 16. Raise the maximum number of memory controllers from 16 to 2 *
MAX_NUMNODES (1024).

[ bp: This is just a band-aid fix until we've sorted out the whole issue
  with the bus_type association and handling in EDAC and can get rid of
  this arbitrary limit. ]
