Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ghes_edac: refactor memory error reporting to avoid code duplication

ghes_edac_report_mem_error() in ghes_edac.c is Long Method and have
Duplicated Code with cper_mem_err_location(), cper_dimm_err_location(), and
cper_mem_err_type_str() in drivers/firmware/efi/cper.c. In addition, the
cper_print_mem() in drivers/firmware/efi/cper.c only reports the error
status and misses its description.

This patch set is to refactor ghes_edac_report_mem_error with:

- Patch 01 is to introduces cper_*(), into ghes_edac_report_mem_error(),
  this can avoid bunch of duplicate code lines;
- Patch 02 is to wrap up error status decoding logics and reuse it in
  cper_print_mem().
