[PATCH v2] powerpc/numa: Correct kernel message severity

From: Vipin K Parashar <hidden>
Date: 2018-03-14 07:52:45 

printk() in unmap_cpu_from_node() uses KERN_ERR message severity,
for a WARNING message. Change it to pr_warn().

The full function is:

static void unmap_cpu_from_node(unsigned long cpu)
{
	int node = numa_cpu_lookup_table[cpu];

	dbg("removing cpu %lu from node %d\n", cpu, node);

	if (cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, node_to_cpumask_map[node])) {
		cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, node_to_cpumask_map[node]);
	} else {
		printk(KERN_ERR "WARNING: cpu %lu not found in node %d\n",
		       cpu, node);
	}
}


So we look up what node the CPU is on, and then we lookup the set of
CPUs on that node, and they don't match.

That seems like a bug, not a warning.

Have you looked at why we're seeing this warning? It seems like maybe
something else is going wrong to get us into this situation to begin
with.

If there's some good reason why this is happening, and it's truly
harmless, then we can just remove the printk() entirely.
