Subject: [GIT PULL 20/25] lightnvm: pblk: do not log recovery read errors

From: Javier González <javier@...xlabs.com>

On scan recovery, reads can fail. This happens because the first page
for each line is read in order to determined if the line has been used
(and thus needs to be recovered), or not. This can lead to "empty page"
read errors.

Since these errors are normal, do not log them, as they are confusing
when reviewing the logs.
