[PATCH 0/2] vmcoreinfo: GHES: track fatal hardware errors

Hardware errors reported through APEI/GHES are recorded in the kernel's
hwerr_data array so that crash tooling can tell from the vmcore whether a
hardware error preceded a crash.

This short series improves that path:

 * The first patch is just a fix.
 * The second adds a HWERR_FATAL bucket that records panic-severity
   errors -- the ones most likely to have caused the crash -- when GHES
   reports them.
