Fix module removal bugs of i82875p_edac. Also i82975x_edac code seems to
have the same module removal bugs as in i82875p_edac.
The problems were:
1. In module removal i82875p_remove_one() is never called.
Variable i82875p_registered is newer changed from 1, which
guarantees i82875p_remove_one() is not called (and even if it were
called, it would be called in wrong order).
As a result, the edac_mc workque is not stopped and keeps probing.
If kernel debugging options are not enabled, user may not notice
anything going wrong.
if debugging options are enabled and I do "rmmod i82875p_edac", I
get:
edac debug: edac_pci_workq_function() checking
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f882d16f
...
call trace:

Fix for this is to get rid of needles variable i82875p_registered
altogether and run i82875p_remove_one() *before*
pci_unregister_driver().
2. edac_mc_del_mc() uses mci after freeing mci
edac_mc_del_mc() calls calls edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). The
kobject refcount of mci drops to 0 and mci is freed. After this
mci is accessed via debug print and i82875p_remove_one() still
uses mci->pvt and tries to free mci again with edac_mc_free().
The fix for this is add kobject_get(&mci->edac_mci_kobj) after
edac_mc_alloc(). Then the mci is still available after returning
from edac_mc_del_mc() with refcount 1, and mci->pvt is still
available. When i82875p_remove_one() finally calls edac_mc_free(),
this will cause kobject_put() and mci is released properly.
