Borislav Petkov 5e8e19bf6c EDAC: Correct scrub rate API
The original scrub rate API definition states that if scrub rate
accessors are not implemented, a negative value (-1) should be written
to the sysfs file (/sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc<N>/sdram_scrub_rate,
where N is the memory controller number on the system). This is
counter-intuitive and awkward at the very least because, when setting
the scrub rate, userspace has to write to sysfs and then read it back to
check error status of the operation.

As Tony notes, best it would be to not have the sdram_scrub_rate in
sysfs if scrub rate support is not implemented. It is too late about
that and a bunch of drivers on a bunch of arches would need to be
changed and tested which is not a trivial task ATM.

Instead, settle for the next best thing of returning -ENODEV when
implementation is missing and -EINVAL when there was an error
encountered while setting the scrub rate.

Arthur Jones 327dafb1c6 edac: core fix redundant sysfs controls to parameters
/sys/devices/system/edac/mc has a few files which are duplicated in
/sys/module/edac_core/parameters.  Now that all the functionality is
duplicated between these two locations, we remove the former kobject
attributes and update the documentation.
