[PATCH net-next v8 11/15] idpf: print a debug message and bail in case of non-event ctlq message

From: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>

Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Larysa Zaremba <redacted>

Unlike previous internal idpf ctlq implementation, libie_cp calls the
default message handler for all received messages that do not have a
matching xn transaction, not only for VIRTCHNL2_OP_EVENT. This leads to
many error messages printing garbage, because the parsing expected a valid
event message, but got e.g. a delayed response for a timed-out transaction.

The information about timed-out transactions and otherwise unhandleable
messages can still be valuable for developers, so print the information
with dynamic debug and exit the function, so the following functions can
parse valid events in peace.
