PCIe ERR_NONFATAL errors mean a particular transaction is unreliable but
the Link is otherwise fully functional (PCIe r4.0, sec 6.2.2).
The AER driver handles these by logging the error details and calling
driver-supplied pci_error_handlers callbacks. It does not reset downstream
devices, does not remove them from the PCI subsystem, does not re-enumerate
them, and does not call their driver .remove() or .probe() methods.
But DPC driver previously enabled DPC on ERR_NONFATAL, so if the hardware
supports DPC, these errors caused a Link reset (performed automatically by
the hardware), followed by the DPC driver removing affected devices (which
calls their .remove() methods), bringing the Link back up, and
re-enumerating (which calls driver .probe() methods).
Disable ERR_NONFATAL DPC triggering so these errors will only be handled by
AER. This means drivers won't have to deal with different usage of their
pci_error_handlers callbacks and .probe() and .remove() methods based on
whether the platform has DPC support.
