EDAC/altera: Remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-module

Browse source 
Since

  8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"),

MODULE_LICENSE declarations are used to identify modules. As
a consequence, uses of the macro in non-modules will cause modprobe to
misidentify their containing object file as a module when it is not
(false positives), and modprobe might succeed rather than failing with
a suitable error message.

altera_edac is not a module for a while now, remove the macro call.
