EDAC/ghes: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ghes_edac_register()

Browse Source 
After

  b9cae27728 ("EDAC/ghes: Scan the system once on driver init")

and with CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE enabled, ghes_hw.dimms becomes
a NULL pointer after the second ->probe() (aka ghes_edac_register())
which the config option causes to be called.

This happens because the static variable which holds down whether
the system has been scanned already, doesn't get reset in
ghes_edac_unregister(). Then, on the second probe, ghes_scan_system()
doesn't get to enumerate the DIMMs, leading to ghes_hw.dimms remaining
NULL.

Clear the variable and rename it to something more descriptive so that a
second probe succeeds.

 [ bp: Rewrite commit message. ]
