BACKPORT: ACPI / APEI: Remove silent flag from ghes_read_estatus()
Subsequent patches will split up ghes_read_estatus(), at which point passing around the 'silent' flag gets annoying. This is to suppress prink() messages, which prior to commit 42a0bb3f7138 ("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI"), were unsafe in NMI context. This is no longer necessary, remove the flag. printk() messages are batched in a per-cpu buffer and printed via irq-work, or a call back from panic(). This patch is needed because Quicksilver firmware-first error handling uses the SDEI notification type for communication between trusted firmware and the OS. This adds needed NMI and SDEI functionality so that the SDEI path in the kernel through APEI acts as an NMI and is properly wired up to the APEI interfaces.
