The commit 6d2c89441571 ("PCI/ERR: Update error status after reset_link()")
overrode the 'status' returned by the error_detect() call back function,
which is depended on by the next step. This overriding makes the Endpoint
driver's required info (kept in the var status) lost, so it results in the
fatal errors' recovery failed and then kernel panic.
Can you explain why updating status affects the recovery ?

In the e1000e case, the error logs:
pcieport 0002:00:00.0: AER: Uncorrected (Fatal) error received: 0002:01:00.0
e1000e 0002:01:00.0: AER: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrected (Fatal), type=Inaccessible, (Unregistered Agent ID)
pcieport 0002:00:00.0: AER: Root Port link has been reset
As per above commit log, it looks like link is reset correctly.

I think it's the expected result that "if the initial value of error
status is PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT or PCI_ERS_RESULT_NO_AER_DRIVER
then even after successful recovery (using reset_link()) pcie_do_recovery()
will report the recovery result as failure" which is described in
commit 6d2c89441571 ("PCI/ERR: Update error status after reset_link()").

Refer to the Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst.
As the error_detect() is mandatory callback if the pci_err_handlers is
implemented, if it return the PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT, it means the
driver doesn't want to recover at all;
For the case PCI_ERS_RESULT_NO_AER_DRIVER, if the pci_err_handlers is not
implemented, the failure is more expected.
