The segmentation fault happens because
During modprobe:
1. In igen6_probe(), igen6_pvt will be allocated with kzalloc()
2. In igen6_register_mci(), mci->pvt_info will point to
&igen6_pvt->imc[mc]
During rmmod:
1. In mci_release() in edac_mc.c, it will kfree(mci->pvt_info)
2. In igen6_remove(), it will kfree(igen6_pvt);
And that caused double kfree on the same memory address. My proposal is to set
mci->pvt_info to NULL to avoid double-kfree.
