Subject: [PATCH 6/7] ACPI-APEI-HEST: Reduce the scope for a variable in
 acpi_hest_init()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Move the definition for the local variable "ghes_count" into an if branch
so that the corresponding setting will only be performed if GHES could be
enabled by this function.
