[1/2] efi/cper: export several helpers for ghes edac to use

Before modularizing the ghes_edac codes, we need to export several efi/cper
helpers to avoid linking error of ghes_edac.

Who's we?

Please use passive voice in your commit message: no "we" or "I", etc,
and describe your changes in imperative mood.

Also, pls read section "2) Describe your changes" in
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for more details.

Also, see section "Changelog" in
Documentation/process/maintainer-tip.rst

Bottom line is: personal pronouns are ambiguous in text, especially with
so many parties/companies/etc developing the kernel so let's avoid them
please.
