Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3] misc_cgroup: remove error log to avoid log flood

From: Chunguang Xu <brookxu@...cent.com>

In scenarios where containers are frequently created and deleted,
a large number of error logs maybe generated. This log provides
less information, we can get more detailed failure records through
misc.events, misc.events.local and misc.failcnt. From this, perhaps
we can remove it.
