In edac_device_register_sysfs_main_kobj(), when dev_root is NULL,
kobject_init_and_add() is not called.
if (err) { // err = -ENODEV
edac_dbg(1, "Failed to register '.../edac/%s'\n",
edac_dev->name);
goto err_kobj_reg; // This calls kobj_put()
}
This will cause a runtime warning in kobject_put() if the above happens.
Warning:
"kobject: '%s' (%p): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called."
Fix the error handling to avoid the above possible situation.

This is based on static analysis and only compile tested.
v1->v2: Resend as a patchset as they are two similar bugs.
