ACPI: APEI: Fix AER info corruption when error status data has multiple sections

ghes_handle_aer() passes AER data to the PCI core for logging and
recovery by calling aer_recover_queue() with a pointer to struct
aer_capability_regs.

The problem was that aer_recover_queue() queues the pointer directly
without copying the aer_capability_regs data.  The pointer was to
the ghes->estatus buffer, which could be reused before
aer_recover_work_func() reads the data.

To avoid this problem, allocate a new aer_capability_regs structure
from the ghes_estatus_pool, copy the AER data from the ghes->estatus
buffer into it, pass a pointer to the new struct to
aer_recover_queue(), and free it after aer_recover_work_func() has
processed it.
