Subject: [PATCH v2] xen: don't print error message in case of missing Xenstore entry

When registering for the Xenstore watch of the node control/sysrq the
handler will be called at once. Don't issue an error message if the
Xenstore node isn't there, as it will be created only when an event
is being triggered.
