James Morse 06ddeadc8d ACPI / APEI: Don't allow ghes_ack_error() to mask earlier errors
During ghes_proc() we use ghes_ack_error() to tell an external agent
we are done with these records and it can re-use the memory.

rc may hold an error returned by ghes_read_estatus(), ENOENT causes
us to skip ghes_ack_error() (as there is nothing to ack), but rc may
also by EIO, which gets supressed.

ghes_clear_estatus() is where we mark the records as processed for
non GHESv2 error sources, and already spots the ENOENT case as
buf_paddr is set to 0 by ghes_read_estatus().

Move the ghes_ack_error() call in here to avoid extra logic with
the return code in ghes_proc().

This enables GHESv2 acking for NMI-like error sources. This is safe
as the buffer is pre-mapped by map_gen_v2() before the GHES is added
to any NMI handler lists.

This same pre-mapping step means we can't receive an error from
apei_read()/write() here as apei_check_gar() succeeded when it
was mapped, and the mapping was cached, so the address can't be
rejected at runtime. Remove the error-returns as this is now
called from a function with no return.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
