Disable AER for Intel Titan Ridge 4C 2018
(used in T2 iMacs, where the warnings appear)
that generate continuous pcieport warnings. such as:

pcieport 0000:00:1c.4: AER: Correctable error message received from 0000:07:00.0
pcieport 0000:07:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Correctable, type=Data Link Layer, (Receiver ID)
pcieport 0000:07:00.0: device [8086:15ea] error status/mask=00000080/00002000
pcieport 0000:07:00.0: [ 7] BadDLLP

macOS also disables AER for Thunderbolt devices and controllers in their drivers.

Changes since v5:
- Used the correct name for DMI check
- Used DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_EARLY instead of DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_FINAL
to disable aer, before the aer init function
Changes since v4:
- Used lowercase hex letters
- Used DMI_BOARD_VENDOR instead of DMI_SYS_VENDOR
Chnages since v3:
- Fixed Grammer mistakes
Changes since v2:
- Transferred logic to arch/x86/pci/fixup.c to only target x86
- Added DMI quirk to only target Apple Systems
Changes since v1:
- Transferred logic to drivers/pci/quicks.c
