Use error_abort in acpi_ghes_memory_errors() so that the caller needn't
explicitly call abort() on errors. With this change, its return value

This is an anti-pattern w.r.t. commit e3fe3988d78 ("error: Document
Error API usage rules"), because it can be called with an errp distinct
of &error_abort.

If you really want to abort(), remove the errp argument, directly call
abort() and rename as acpi_ghes_memory_abort_on_errors().

Thanks for pointing it out. I will improve this like below in next revision.

- Drop 'errp' argument from acpi_ghes_memory_errors(), but I prefer to keep
    the function name.

- In acpi_ghes_memory_errors(), a local variable 'Error *err' is added and
    pass it to ghes_record_cper_errors(), which is also called by QMP handler
    qmp_inject_ghes_v2_error().

Please let me know if there are any more improvements needed.

I guess that was my request,
with calling abort() directly you have to print error separately,
while using 'error_abort' is much more cleaner (as this hunk demonstrates)


error_abort has been replaced by error_fatal as Markus suggested in another
reply.

+                kvm_inject_arm_sea(c);
               }
               return;
           }

Thanks,
Gavin
