This patch refactors the 'releasing' of kobjects for the edac_mc type of
device. The correct pattern of kobject release is followed.
As internal kobjs are allocated they bump a ref count on the top level kobj.
It in turn has a module ref count on the edac_core module. When internal
kobjects are released, they dec the ref count on the top level kobj. When the
top level kobj reaches zero, it decrements the ref count on the edac_core
object, allow it to be unloaded, as all resources have all now been released.

This patch adds the new 'class' of object to be managed, named: 'edac_device'.
As a peer of the 'edac_mc' class of object, it provides a non-memory centric
view of an ERROR DETECTING device in hardware. It provides a sysfs interface
and an abstraction for varioius EDAC type devices.
Multiple 'instances' within the class are possible, with each 'instance'
able to have multiple 'blocks', and each 'block' having 'attributes'.
At the 'block' level there are the 'ce_count' and 'ue_count' fields
which the device driver can update and/or call edac_device_handle_XX()
functions. At each higher level are additional 'total' count fields,
which are a summation of counts below that level.
This 'edac_device' has been used to capture and present ECC errors
which are found in a a L1 and L2 system on a per CORE/CPU basis.

This is a large patch to refactor the original EDAC module in the kernel
and to break it up into better file granularity, such that each source
file contains a given subsystem of the EDAC CORE.
Originally, the EDAC 'core' was contained in one source file: edac_mc.c
with it corresponding edac_mc.h file.
Now, there are the following files:
edac_module.c The main module init/exit function and other overhead
edac_mc.c Code handling the edac_mc class of object
edac_mc_sysfs.c Code handling for sysfs presentation
edac_pci_sysfs.c Code handling for PCI sysfs presentation
edac_core.h CORE .h include file for 'edac_mc' and 'edac_device' drivers
edac_module.h Internal CORE .h include file
This forms a foundation upon which a later patch can create the 'edac_device'
class of object code in a new file 'edac_device.c'.
