Subject: [PATCH RESEND 5/5] perf/x86/uncore: Don't WARN_ON_ONCE() for a broken discovery table

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

The kernel warning message is triggered, when SPR MCC is used.

[   17.945331] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   17.946305] WARNING: CPU: 65 PID: 1 at
arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_discovery.c:184
intel_uncore_has_discovery_tables+0x4c0/0x65c
[   17.946305] Modules linked in:
[   17.946305] CPU: 65 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted
5.4.17-2136.313.1-X10-2c+ #4

It's caused by the broken discovery table of UPI.

The discovery tables are from hardware. Except for dropping the broken
information, there is nothing Linux can do. Using WARN_ON_ONCE() is
overkilled.

Use the pr_info() to replace WARN_ON_ONCE(), and specify what uncore unit
is dropped and the reason.
