Subject: [PATCH 5.4 158/165] net/mlx5e: Always print health reporter message to dmesg

From: Eran Ben Elisha <eranbe@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit 99cda45426c9a2c59bb2f7cb886a405440282455 ]

In case a reporter exists, error message is logged only to the devlink
tracer. The devlink tracer is a visibility utility only, which user can
choose not to monitor.
After cited patch, 3rd party monitoring tools that tracks these error
message will no longer find them in dmesg, causing a regression.

With this patch, error messages are also logged into the dmesg.

Fixes: c50de4af1d63 ("net/mlx5e: Generalize tx reporter's functionality")
