Subject: [PATCH v3] PCI/AER: Fix aerdrv loading with "pcie_ports=native" parameter

According to the documentation, "pcie_ports=native", linux should use
native AER and DPC services. While that is true for the _OSC method
parsing, this is not the only place that is checked. Should the HEST
table list PCIe ports as firmware-first, linux will not use native
services.

This happens because aer_acpi_firmware_first() doesn't take
'pcie_ports' into account. This is wrong. DPC uses the same logic when
it decides whether to load or not, so fixing this also fixes DPC not
loading.
