[PATCH v2] EDAC/amd64: Fix double free of private data on registration failure

[Weilin Tong <tongweilin@linux.alibaba.com>]

If edac_mc_add_mc_with_groups() fails, init_one_instance() calls
edac_mc_free(), which frees mci->pvt_info. probe_one_instance() then
accesses and frees the same private data, causing a use-after-free
and a double free.

Clear mci->pvt_info before calling edac_mc_free() to leave the cleanup
to probe_one_instance(). The normal remove path already clears it.

v2:
- Explain why probe_one_instance() retains ownership of pvt on failure.
- Drop the stable Cc.
- Add Yazen's Reviewed-by.
- Rebase onto ras/edac-for-next (28f141ff14c48).
