[PATCH v2 1/7] ACPI: APEI: GHES: Bound CXL event record copy to the firmware section length

cxl_cper_post_event() blindly copies a fixed
sizeof(struct cxl_cper_event_rec) out of the firmware-provided CPER
section without checking the length. Pass gdata->error_data_length into
the function and reject a section too small to hold the record before
the copy.
