Do you know which commit added that code?

The way the changes are described here isn't particularly clear to me. I'd say
something like

If cper_print_aer() is called by aer_recover_work_func(), there won't be any
reason to call it from cper_print_pcie() any more, in which case all of the
problematic code needed only to prepare for the cper_print_aer() call,
including the invocation of pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() causing the warning
to be printed, may be removed from there. Make that happen."

Also, since aer_recover_work_func() is going to be the only existing caller of
cper_print_aer() after this change, as far as I can say, and it doesn't use the
function's first argument, that argument should be dropped entirely.

Thanks,
Rafael
