Subject: [PATCH] PCI AER: Handle non-AER HEST error sources in aer_hest_parse()

aer_hest_parse() could pass a non-AER HEST error source to the function
hest_match_pci(). hest_match_pci() assumes that the HEST error source is
type ACPI_HEST_TYPE_AER_ROOT_PORT, ACPI_HEST_TYPE_AER_ENDPOINT, or
ACPI_HEST_TYPE_AER_BRIDGE. I have a platform that has some
ACPI_HEST_TYPE_GENERIC error sources where hest_match_pci() was trying to
access the structure as if it had the acpi_hest_aer_common fields.

aer_hest_parse() is only ever interested in the AER type HEST error
sources. Add a check on the type of the error souce at the beginning of
aer_hest_parse().
