[PATCH 1/5] EDAC/mc: Get rid of silly one-shot struct allocation in edac_mc_alloc()

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Thu Mar 10 2022 - 04:53:13 EST


From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

This has probably meant something at some point but there's no need for
it anymore - the struct mem_ctl_info allocation can happen with normal,
boring k*alloc() calls like everyone else does it.

No functional changes.
