[PATCH v2 6/7] EDAC: add edac_check_mc_owner() to check MC owner

[Toshi Kani]

Only a single edac driver can be enabled for EDAC MC.  When ghes_edac
is enabled, a regular edac driver for the CPU type / platform still
attempts to register itself and fails in edac_mc_add_mc().

Add edac_check_mc_owner() so that regular edac drivers can check
the owner of EDAC MC at the beginning of initialization.

Also change the owner check to string comparison from address check.
