EFI/CPER: don't go past the ARM processor CPER record buffer

Browse Source 
There's a logic inside GHES/CPER to detect if the section_length
is too small, but it doesn't detect if it is too big.

Currently, if the firmware receives an ARM processor CPER record
stating that a section length is big, kernel will blindly trust
section_length, producing a very long dump. For instance, a 67
bytes record with ERR_INFO_NUM set 46198 and section length
set to 854918320 would dump a lot of data going a way past the
firmware memory-mapped area.

Fix it by adding a logic to prevent it to go past the buffer
if ERR_INFO_NUM is too big, making it report instead:

	[Hardware Error]: Hardware error from APEI Generic Hardware Error Source: 1
	[Hardware Error]: event severity: recoverable
	[Hardware Error]:  Error 0, type: recoverable
	[Hardware Error]:   section_type: ARM processor error
	[Hardware Error]:   MIDR: 0xff304b2f8476870a
	[Hardware Error]:   section length: 854918320, CPER size: 67
	[Hardware Error]:   section length is too big
	[Hardware Error]:   firmware-generated error record is incorrect
	[Hardware Error]:   ERR_INFO_NUM is 46198
