So it was confusing to read the empty stub function 2 patches back when this
change was coming, and basic reporting of CXL event does not need the
workqueue indirection. Note that EDAC triggers trace events directly in
the atomic notifier chain, so CXL could do the same.

This is more heavywieght than I was expecting and defeats the purpose of
centralizing advanced decode in the CXL driver itself.

I would expect this to be just the tracing equivalent of the
ignore_section logic in cper_estatus_print_section().
