Subject: [PATCH 07/11] EDAC/ghes: Have a separate code path for creating the fake MC

The code in ghes_edac_register() switches back and forth between
standard and fake controller creation. Do one thing only and separate
the code path that creates the fake MC.

Note: For better review the code is not yet carved out in separate
functions.
