ACPI: APEI: Better fix to avoid spamming the console with old error logs
commit
c3481b6b75b4797657838f44028fd28226ab48e0 upstream.
The fix in commit
3f8dec116210 ("ACPI/APEI: Limit printable size of BERT
table data") does not work as intended on systems where the BIOS has a
fixed size block of memory for the BERT table, relying on s/w to quit
when it finds a record with estatus->block_status == 0. On these systems
all errors are suppressed because the check:
if (region_len < ACPI_BERT_PRINT_MAX_LEN)
always fails.
New scheme skips individual CPER records that are too large, and also
limits the total number of records that will be printed to 5.
