Subject: [PATCH v6 3/4] apei/ghes: ensure that won't go past CPER allocated record
The logic at ghes_new() prevents allocating too large records, by
checking if they're bigger than GHES_ESTATUS_MAX_SIZE (currently, 64KB).
Yet, the allocation is done with the actual number of pages from the
CPER bios table location, which can be smaller.
Yet, a bad firmware could send data with a different size, which might
be bigger than the allocated memory, causing an OOPS:

Prevent that by taking the actual allocated are into account when
checking for CPER length.
