When we don't own AER, we shouldn't touch the AER error bits. This
happens unconditionally on device probe(). Clearing AER bits
willy-nilly might cause firmware to miss errors. Instead
these bits should get cleared by FFS, or via ACPI _HPX method.
This race is mostly of theoretical significance, as it is not easy to
reasonably demonstrate it in testing.
