[PATCH v3 04/10] ACPI: extlog: Avoid populating software AER metadata from raw hardware buffer

[Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com>]

sashiko-bot flagged that casting the raw aer_info buffer fills
software-only AER metadata with hardware data, driving an out-of-bounds
read.

extlog_print_pcie() casts pcie_err->aer_info directly to struct
aer_capability_regs *. That struct embeds struct pcie_tlp_log, whose
software-only header_len and flit fields sit at offset 84, within the
96-byte aer_info buffer, so the cast fills them with raw hardware data.
pcie_print_tlp_log() uses flit and header_len to bound a loop over the
dw[] array, so a large header_len walks past its end.

Copy aer_info into a zeroed local struct aer_capability_regs and clear
header_len and flit before passing it on.
