Subject: ses: fix additional element traversal bug

From: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

commit 5e1033561da1152c57b97ee84371dba2b3d64c25 upstream.

KASAN found that our additional element processing scripts drop off
the end of the VPD page into unallocated space.  The reason is that
not every element has additional information but our traversal
routines think they do, leading to them expecting far more additional
information than is present.  Fix this by adding a gate to the
traversal routine so that it only processes elements that are expected
to have additional information (list is in SES-2 section 6.1.13.1:
Additional Element Status diagnostic page overview)
