Subject: [PATCH] EDAC, mc_sysfs: Fix freeing bus' name

I get the splat below when modprobing/rmmoding EDAC drivers. It happens
because bus->name is invalid after bus_unregister() has run. The Code: section
below corresponds to:

  .loc 1 1108 0
  movq    672(%rbx), %rax # mci_1(D)->bus, mci_1(D)->bus
  .loc 1 1109 0
  popq    %rbx    #

  .loc 1 1108 0
  movq    (%rax), %rdi    # _7->name,
  jmp     kfree   #

and %rax has some funky stuff 2030203020312030 which looks a lot like
something walked over it.

Fix that by saving the name ptr before doing stuff to string it points to.
