This was added to catch firmware bugs (i.e. bad ACPI tables).  Since
"SEA" is a valid GHES notify type in ACPI, it's just a number in an ACPI
table.  If someone incorrectly set SEA as their notify type in their
HEST table on an Intel system, this would catch that error here.

We may do this with less code by getting rid of the #else (as you
suggest), but we need to add #ifdefs to eliminate the calls to
ghes_sea_add and ghes_sea_remove to avoid compiler errors.  Does the
below change look better?
