Subject: [PATCH] PCI/AER: Avoid info leak in __print_tlp_header

Commit fab4c256a58b ("PCI/AER: Add a TLP header print helper")
introduced the helper function __print_tlp_header, but contrary to the
intention, the behaviour did change: Since we're taking the address of
the parameter t, the first 4 or 8 bytes printed will be the value of
the pointer t itself, and the remaining 12 or 8 bytes will be
who-knows-what (something from the stack).

We want to treat the four members of the struct aer_header_log_regs as
little-endian 32 bit numbers and print those. That can be done without
ugly and confusing casts.

Fixes: fab4c256a58b ("PCI/AER: Add a TLP header print helper")
