Subject: [PATCH v2] EDAC/igen6: Fix error handling in igen6_edac driver

The igen6_edac driver calls device_initialize() for all memory
controllers in igen6_register_mci(), but misses corresponding
put_device() calls in error paths and during normal shutdown in
igen6_unregister_mcis().

Adding the missing put_device() calls improves code readability and
ensures proper reference counting for the device structure.

Found by code review.
