i7300_edac: pre-allocate a buffer used to prepare err messages
Instead of dynamically allocating a buffer for it where needed, just allocate it once. As we'll use the same buffer also during fatal and non-fatal errors, is is very risky to dynamically allocate it during an error. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
