EDAC, sb_edac: Use cpu family/model in driver detection

Browse source

Instead of picking a random PCI ID from the dozen or so we need to
access, just use x86_match_cpu() to pick based on CPU model number. The
choosing of PCI devices has been problematic in the past, see

  11249e7399 ("sb_edac: Fix detection on SNB machines")

which fixed problems introduced by

  d0585cd815 ("sb_edac: Claim a different PCI device").

This is especially ugly if future hardware might not even have
EDAC-relevant registers in PCI config space and we would still be
required to choose some "random" PCI devices to scan for just so our
driver loads.

Is this cleaner/clearer? It deletes much more code than it adds. Only
tested on Broadwell. The driver loads/unloads and loads again. Still
decodes errors too.
