PCI/FLIT: Add trace event for flit errors

This commit emits a trace event for each erroneous flit logged by the Flit
Error Counter. It captures the counter control/status and both Error Log
registers to provide a structured record for userspace RAS tooling.

[Severity: High]
If the PCI device is hot-unplugged or the link goes down while flit_isr()
is executing, pci_read_config_dword() will fail and set err_log1 to all 1s
(0xFFFFFFFF).

Because 0xFFFFFFFF has all bits set, it will bypass any valid bit checks and
the loop condition (err_log1 & PCI_FLIT_ERR_LOG_MORE) will evaluate to true.

Could this trap the kernel thread in an infinite loop and flood the trace
buffer?
