Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/mm: move a KERN_WARNING message to pr_debug()

resize_hpt_for_hotplug() reports a warning when it cannot
increase the hash page table ("Unable to resize hash page
table to target order") but this is not blocking and
can make user thinks something has not worked properly.
As we move the message to the debug area, report again the
ENODEV error.

If the operation cannot be done the real error message
will be reported by arch_add_memory() if create_section_mapping()
fails.

Fixes: 7339390d772dd
       powerpc/pseries: Don't give a warning when HPT resizing isn't available
Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <lvivier@...hat.com>

Notes:
    v2:
     - use pr_debug instead of printk(KERN_DEBUG
     - remove check for ENODEV
