x86/umip: Downgrade warning messages to debug loglevel
After four years in the wild, those have not fullfilled their
initial purpose of pushing people to fix their software to not use
UMIP-emulated instructions, and to warn users about the degraded
emulation performance.
Yet, the only thing that "degrades" performance is overflowing dmesg
with those:
[Di Sep 7 00:24:05 2021] umip_printk: 1345 callbacks suppressed
[Di Sep 7 00:24:05 2021] umip: someapp.exe[29231] ip:14064cdba sp:11b7c0: SIDT instruction cannot be used by applications.
[Di Sep 7 00:24:05 2021] umip: someapp.exe[29231] ip:14064cdba sp:11b7c0: For now, expensive software emulation returns the result.
...
[Di Sep 7 00:26:06 2021] umip_printk: 2227 callbacks suppressed
[Di Sep 7 00:26:06 2021] umip: someapp.exe[29231] ip:14064cdba sp:11b940: SIDT instruction cannot be used by applications.
and users don't really care about that - they just want to play their
games in wine.
So convert those to debug loglevel - in case someone is still interested
in them, someone can boot with "debug" on the kernel cmdline.
