xen/pcifront: check that an AER callback exists before calling it

pcifront_common_process() handles an AER request from the backend by
dispatching on aer_op.cmd to the bound driver's PCI error handler.  It
only checks that err_handler and err_handler->error_detected are present,
then for the mmio_enabled, slot_reset and resume commands it calls the
corresponding callback unconditionally.  Those three callbacks are
optional -- the PCI core NULL-checks each of them individually before
use -- and many drivers (for example igb, igc, ice and ixgbevf) install
error_detected without all of them.

aer_op.cmd comes from the shared ring, so a malicious or buggy backend
can send XEN_PCI_OP_aer_mmio (or _slotreset/_resume) for a device whose
driver leaves that callback NULL and make the frontend call through a
NULL pointer, crashing the guest.

Check each callback before calling it.  When mmio_enabled or slot_reset is
absent, return PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED so recovery proceeds, as the PCI
core does for a missing callback; returning PCI_ERS_RESULT_NONE would
instead make xen-pciback tear the guest domain down.
