Subject: [RESEND PATCH v3 6/9] ghes: Introduce a flag ghes_present

Introduce a flag ghes_present to differentiate between the system ROM
really not offering GHES vs. the ghes module not running. The true of
ghes_present means ghes_probe() has been called.

If ghes_edac is not enabled (but ghes is enabled) on a system with GHES
present & preferred, no edac driver gets registered.
