I have attempted to modify the steps to reproduce it without returning
IRQ_NONE for all cases (which will break the functionality). But I
think I did not correct the last few steps.

How about replacing the last 3 steps with following?

  # Inject another error (within 5 seconds)
  $ echo 1 > error_inject

  # You will get a new IRQ with only multiple ERR_COR bit set
  pcieport <Dev ID>: AER: Root Error Status 0002
