Should the above be:

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(in_nmi()))
return;

To prevent a deadlock? Or do we not care?

The above looks fine, as long as there's nothing before it that needs
synchronization.

What's the likelihood of two calls to ghes_edac_register being done
simultaneously? Because two calls at the same time will get past this.
