[PATCH v6 13/26] powerpc/secvar: Don't print error on ENOENT when reading variables

From: Andrew Donnellan <hidden>
Date: 2023-02-10 08:05:13
Also in: linux-integrity, lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

If attempting to read the size or data attributes of a  non-existent
variable (which will be possible after a later patch to expose the PLPKS
via the secvar interface), don't spam the kernel log with error messages.
Only print errors for return codes that aren't ENOENT.
