[PATCH] efi/cper: use stack buffer for error record decoding

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

Joe reports that using a statically allocated buffer for converting CPER
error records into human readable text is probably a bad idea. Even
though we are not aware of any actual issues, a stack buffer is clearly
a better choice here anyway, so let's move the buffer into the stack
frames of the two functions that refer to it.
