The PCI_ID: print is misleading. That format usually indicates VID:DID, but
you're printing VID:SSVID.

This is also very similar to the recently introduced nvme_print_device_info(),
but that one removes the annoying trailing spaces if they exist. I guess if
we're going this direction, just use that print, but change it from dev_err to
dev_info, and remove the call on global id collision detection.
