cover Restructure and fix GHES PCIe AER handling

First, break the PCIe AER handling out into its own function to separate it from the standard GHES processing

Then fix the AER handling to process all errors in the AER driver rather than only handling recoverable errors.

Tyler Baicar (2):
acpi: apei: handle PCIe AER errors in separate function
acpi: apei: call into AER handling regardless of severity

PATCH v3 2/2 acpi: apei: call into AER handling regardless of severity

Currently the GHES code only calls into the AER driver for recoverable type errors. This is incorrect because errors of other severities do not get logged by the AER driver and do not get exposed to user space via the AER trace event. So, call into the AER driver for PCIe errors regardless of the severity
