The field hdr_uuid is removed from the common CXL_EVT_TP_entry shared by the
trace events cxl_generic_event, cxl_general_media, cxl_dram and cxl_memory_module .
rasdaemon will break because of this while processing these trace events
and also affects the corresponding error records in the SQLite data base.
Rasdaemon needs update to avoid this.
