Similarly to pci_dev_aer_stats_incr(), pci_print_aer() may be called
when dev->aer_info is NULL. Add a NULL check before proceeding to avoid
calling aer_ratelimit() with a NULL aer_info pointer, returning 1, which
does not rate limit, given this is fatal.
This prevents a kernel crash triggered by dereferencing a NULL pointer
in aer_ratelimit(), ensuring safer handling of PCI devices that lack
AER info. This change aligns pci_print_aer() with pci_dev_aer_stats_incr()
which already performs this NULL check.
