Subject: [PATCH v3 10/24] powerpc/secvar: Don't print error on ENOENT when reading variables

If attempting to read the size or data attributes of a  non-existent
variable (which will be possible after a later patch to expose the PLPKS
via the secvar interface), don't spam the kernel log with error messages.
Only print errors for return codes that aren't ENOENT.
