Subject: drivers/edac: mod race fix i82875p
From: Jason Uhlenkott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

If ERRSTS indicates that there's no error then we don't need to bother reading
the other registers.

In addition to making the common case faster, this actually fixes a small race
where we don't see an error but we clear the error bits anyway, potentially
wiping away info on an error that happened in the interim (or where a CE
arrives between the first and second read of ERRSTS, causing us to falsely
claim "UE overwrote CE").
