PCI/AER: Fix ghes_estatus_pool memory leaks in error handling

This series addresses two memory leaks in PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (AER)
handling where memory snapshot buffers allocated from ghes_estatus_pool
are not released back to the pool.

When firmware reports PCIe errors via ACPI APEI GHES (ghes_handle_aer()), it
allocates a buffer from ghes_estatus_pool for aer_capability_regs and
enqueues it into aer_recover_ring. If errors are dropped or skipped, these
buffers must be freed to prevent ghes_estatus_pool memory exhaustion.

Patch 1: Fixes memory leak in aer_recover_queue() when kfifo_in_spinlocked()
         fails due to a buffer overflow (ring capacity of 16 entries full).
Patch 2: Fixes memory leak in aer_recover_work_func() when a dequeued entry
         cannot be mapped to a PCI device (pdev is NULL).

Changes in v2:
  - Refactored aer_recover_work_func() to ensure ghes_estatus_pool_region_free()
    is called unconditionally for every dequeued record.
  - Added Patch 2 to fix related memory leak in aer_recover_queue() on
    kfifo buffer overflow.
  - Updated commit messages with detailed pool lifetime explanations.
