Subject: [RFC][PATCH] Freezer: Make freezing failures less verbose by default

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

Currently freezing failures are extremely verbose which sometimes is
unnecessary and prevents the user from seeing which task could not be frozen.

Make them less verbose by default (ie. if CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE is unset).
