[PATCH 2/2] acpi/ghes: taint kernel on recovered hardware errors

[Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>]

Update the GHES error processing logic to taint the kernel when
a recoverable or corrected hardware error is detected.

If the error severity is GHES_SEV_RECOVERABLE or GHES_SEV_CORRECTED, the
TAINT_HW_ERROR_RECOVERED flag is set. This allows users and support
tools to identify systems that have experienced hardware issues that
were recovered at runtime, improving traceability and diagnostics.
