I guess the other caller is dpc_process_rp_pio_error(), which uses
pci_err() for other logging, so at least it matches the level used by
pcie_print_tlp_log().

This patch uses info.level to control the message level, and
pcie_print_tlp_log() doesn't look at info.level.  I added this comment
to explain why that's OK and the message level happens to match
already.  Maybe not super ideal long term.
