Now that you added guard(pci_dev) earlier in the series you can just use
that here rather than guard(device).

Per above:
	guard(pci_dev)(pdev);

I think this order should be flipped. That way any errors that might
arrive due to activity caused by probing have a chance to be serviced.
Any that fire while initial probing is happening will pause in
cxl_cper_event_call() and wait for probing to complete. Of course if
probing fails, all is lost, but I think there is some incremental
benefit to trying to catch those early records for things that are not
probing fatal.
