commit b3a72ca80351917cc23f9e24c35f3c3979d3c121 upstream. Joe reports that using a statically allocated buffer for converting CPER error records into human readable text is probably a bad idea. Even though we are not aware of any actual issues, a stack buffer is clearly a better choice here anyway, so let's move the buffer into the stack frames of the two functions that refer to it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
