[PATCH v2 2/3] EDAC/versalnet: Fix device name memory leak

[Prasanna Kumar T S M]

The device name allocated via kzalloc() in init_one_mc() is assigned to
dev->init_name but never freed on the normal removal path.
device_register() copies init_name and then sets dev->init_name to NULL,
so the name pointer becomes unreachable from the device. Thus leaking
memory.

Use a stack-local char array instead of using kzalloc() for name.
