EDAC: Fix used after kfree() error in edac_unregister_sysfs() 

Code flow looks like this:

  device_unregister(&mci->dev);
   -> kobject_put+0x25/0x50
    -> kobject_cleanup+0x77/0x190
      -> device_release+0x32/0xa0
	-> mci_attr_release+0x36/0x70
	  -> kfree(mci);
  bus_unregister(mci->bus);

Fix is to grab a local copy of "mci->bus" and use that when we call
bus_unregister().
