EDAC/ghes: Set the DIMM label unconditionally



The commit

  cb51a371 ("EDAC/ghes: Setup DIMM label from DMI and use it in error reports")

enforced that both the bank and device strings passed to
dimm_setup_label() are not NULL.

However, there are BIOSes, for example on a

  HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10/ProLiant DL360 Gen10, BIOS U32 03/15/2019

which don't populate both strings:

  Handle 0x0020, DMI type 17, 84 bytes
  Memory Device
          Array Handle: 0x0013
          Error Information Handle: Not Provided
          Total Width: 72 bits
          Data Width: 64 bits
          Size: 32 GB
          Form Factor: DIMM
          Set: None
          Locator: PROC 1 DIMM 1        <===== device
          Bank Locator: Not Specified   <===== bank

This results in a buffer overflow because ghes_edac_register() calls
strlen() on an uninitialized label, which had non-zero values left over
from krealloc_array():

The label contains garbage because the commit in Fixes reallocs the
DIMMs array while scanning the system but doesn't clear the newly
allocated memory.

Change dimm_setup_label() to always initialize the label to fix the
issue. Set it to the empty string in case BIOS does not provide both
bank and device so that ghes_edac_register() can keep the default label
given by edac_mc_alloc_dimms().
