Subject: [PATCH net-next] r8169: avoid duplicated messages if loading firmware
 fails and switch to warn level

In case of a problem with firmware loading we inform at the driver level,
in addition the firmware load code itself issues warnings. Therefore
switch to firmware_request_nowarn() to avoid duplicated error messages.
In addition switch to warn level because the firmware is optional and
typically just fixes compatibility issues.
