efi/cper: use stack buffer for error record decoding

commit b3a72ca80351917cc23f9e24c35f3c3979d3c121 upstream.

Joe reports that using a statically allocated buffer for converting CPER
error records into human readable text is probably a bad idea. Even
though we are not aware of any actual issues, a stack buffer is clearly
a better choice here anyway, so let's move the buffer into the stack
frames of the two functions that refer to it.
