Add support for decoding NVIDIA-specific CPER sections delivered via
the APEI GHES vendor record notifier chain. NVIDIA hardware generates
vendor-specific CPER sections containing error signatures and diagnostic
register dumps. This implementation registers a notifier_block with the
GHES vendor record notifier and decodes these sections, printing error
details via dev_info().

The driver binds to ACPI device NVDA2012, present on NVIDIA server
platforms. The NVIDIA CPER section contains a fixed header with error
metadata (signature, error type, severity, socket) followed by
variable-length register address-value pairs for hardware diagnostics.

This work is based on libcper [0].

Example output:
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: NVIDIA CPER section, error_data_length: 544
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: signature: CMET-INFO
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: error_type: 0
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: error_instance: 0
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: severity: 3
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: socket: 0
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: number_regs: 32
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: instance_base: 0x0000000000000000
nvidia-ghes NVDA2012:00: register[0]: address=0x8000000100000000 
value=0x0000000100000000

v2:
  - Use right headers.
  - Use embedded struct and __counted_by.
  - Drop __packed.
  - Remove unecessary casts. 
  - Use * in sizeof().
  - Use devm_kmalloc() and struct assignment.
  - Use dev_err_probe and new devm helper.
