Subject: [PATCH -next v1] x86/apic: Reduce print level of CPU limit announcement

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@...lanox.com>

Kernel is booted with less possible CPUs (possible_cpus kernel boot
option) than available CPUs will have prints like this:

[    1.131039] APIC: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 8 reached. Processor 55/0x1f ignored.
[    1.132228] ACPI: Unable to map lapic to logical cpu number

Those warnings are printed for every not-enabled CPU and on the systems
with large number of such CPUs, we see a lot of those prints for default
print level.

Simple conversion of first line to be in debug level and removal of second line
which is redundant, will remove them while leaving the option to debug system.

Changelog v0->v1:
 * Completely removed print from boot.c and updated commit message accordingly.
