[PATCH] EDAC: kobject_init/kobject_put fixes

- Remove calls to kobject_init().  These are unnecessary because
  kobject_register() calls kobject_init().

- Remove extra calls to kobject_put().  When we call
  kobject_unregister(), this releases our reference to the kobject.
  The extra calls to kobject_put() may cause the reference count to
  drop to 0 while a kobject is still in use.
