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)...
