[PATCH v2 4/7] ghes_edac: avoid multiple calls to dmi_walk()

[Toshi Kani]

ghes_edac_register() is called for each GHES platform device
instantiated per a GHES entry in ACPI HEST table.  dmi_walk()
counts the number of DIMMs on the system, and there is no need
to call it multiple times.

Change ghes_edac_register() to call dmi_walk() only when
'num_dimm' is uninitialized.
