Subject: [PATCH 5.4 14/53] ping: remove pr_err from ping_lookup

From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@...il.com>

commit cd33bdcbead882c2e58fdb4a54a7bd75b610a452 upstream.

As Jakub noticed, prints should be avoided on the datapath.
Also, as packets would never come to the else branch in
ping_lookup(), remove pr_err() from ping_lookup().

Fixes: 35a79e64de29 ("ping: fix the dif and sdif check in ping_lookup")
