edac: core fix to use dynamic kobject
Static kobjects are not supported in linux kernel. Convert the
edac_pci_top_main_kobj from static to dynamic. This avoids the double
free of the edac_pci_top_main_kobj.name that we see on module reload of
the e752x edac driver (and probably others as well).
In addition Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> has pointed out that this code may be
cleaned up significantly. I will look at that as a follow-on patch, for
now, I just want the minimum fix to get this double-free oops bug
squashed...
Many thanks to Greg KH for his patience in showing me what the
Documentation/kobject.txt already said (oops)...
