aer_fail_vs_fixed_log

Currently if an uncorrectable error is reported by an EP the AER
driver walks over all the devices connected to the upstream port
bus and in turns call the report_error_detected() callback.
If any of the devices connected to the bus does not implement
dev->driver->err_handler->error_detected() do_recovery() will fail
leaving all the bus hierarchy devices unrecovered.

According to the PCIe specs section "6.2.2.2.2. Non-Fatal Errors" 
<< Non-fatal errors are uncorrectable errors which cause a particular
transaction to be unreliable but the Link is otherwise fully functional.
Isolating Non-fatal from Fatal errors provides Requester/Receiver logic
in a device or system management software the opportunity to recover
from the error without resetting the components on the Link and
disturbing other transactions in progress. Devices not associated with
the transaction in error are not impacted by the error.>>
Therefore for non-fatal errors it seems not correct to walk over the upstream port bus invoking report_error_detected() for all the devices connected to te bus.

In HiSilicon Hi1620 we have some integrated SoC peripheral controllers that appear under the same bus. More in details we have the HiSilicon SAS controller implementing dev->driver->err_handler->error_detected(), whereas the SATA controller does not implement the callback.

Injecting AER errors leads to AER not being able to recover (please refer to attached "aer_fail_vs_fixed_log.txt")

Patching with the following code we fix the issue (see "aer_fail_vs_fixed_log.txt")
