Before 010caed4ccb6 ("PCI/AER: Decode Error Source RequesterID")
the AER error logs looked like:

  pcieport 0000:00:03.0: AER: Corrected error received: id=0018
  pcieport 0000:00:03.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Data Link Layer, id=0018 (Receiver ID)
  pcieport 0000:00:03.0:   device [1b36:000c] error status/mask=00000040/0000e000
  pcieport 0000:00:03.0:    [ 6] BadTLP

In 010caed4ccb6 ("PCI/AER: Decode Error Source Requester ID"),
the "id" field was removed from the AER error logs, so currently AER
logs look like:

  pcieport 0000:00:03.0: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:00:03:0
  pcieport 0000:00:03.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Data Link Layer, (Receiver ID)
  pcieport 0000:00:03.0:   device [1b36:000c] error status/mask=00000040/0000e000
  pcieport 0000:00:03.0:    [ 6] BadTLP

The second line in the above logs prints "(Receiver ID)", even when
there is no "id" in the log line. This is confusing.

Remove the "ID" from the aer_agent_string[]. The error logs will
look as follows (Sample from dummy error injected by aer-inject):

  pcieport 0000:00:03.0: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:00:03.0
  pcieport 0000:00:03.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Data Link Layer, (Receiver)
  pcieport 0000:00:03.0:   device [1b36:000c] error status/mask=00000040/0000e000
  pcieport 0000:00:03.0:    [ 6] BadTLP

Starting your commit log to say that message are confusing and then talk
about why will make it easier to understand why the change is needed.

It is good to see before and after messages. However, it will be helpful
to know why this change is necessary. It isn't very clear why in this
commit log.

Extra signed-off-by?
