ACPI: APEI: GHES: Improve ghes_notify_nmi() status check

ghes_notify_nmi() is called for every NMI and must check whether the NMI was
generated because an error was signalled by platform firmware.

This check is very expensive as for each registered GHES NMI source it reads
from the acpi generic address attached to this error source to get the physical
address of the acpi_hest_generic_status block.  It then checks the "block_status"
to see if an error was logged.

The ACPI/APEI code must create virtual mappings for each of those physical
addresses, and tear them down afterwards. On an Icelake system this takes around
15,000 TSC cycles. Enough to disturb efforts to profile system performance.

If that were not bad enough, there are some atomic accesses in the code path
that will cause cache line bounces between CPUs. A problem that gets worse as
the core count increases.

But BIOS changes neither the acpi generic address nor the physical address of
the acpi_hest_generic_status block. So this walk can be done once when the NMI is
registered to save the virtual address (unmapping if the NMI is ever unregistered).
The "block_status" can be checked directly in the NMI handler. This can be done
without any atomic accesses.

Resulting time to check that there is not an error record is around 900 cycles.
