EDAC/igen6: Fix call trace due to missing release()
When unloading the igen6_edac driver, there is a call trace:
Device '(null)' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.
See Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst.
WARNING: drivers/base/core.c:2567 at device_release+0x84/0x90, CPU#5: rmmod/127209
...
RIP: 0010:device_release+0x84/0x90
Call Trace:
