The firmware on some machine will report duplicated hardware error
source ID in HEST.  This is considered a firmware bug.  To provide
better warning message, this patch adds duplicated hardware error
source ID detecting and corresponding printk.

This patch fixes #37412 on kernel bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37412
